The Strange Estate: New & Selected Poems 1986 - 2017 is a landmark collection from both sides of the Atlantic. From Adrian Rice's exploration of the creative constrictions and liberations of the northern Protestant tradition, to the musings of his American porch, Rice, in this startlingly rich and emotionally complex collection, fashions and recovers lores of place and belonging. Seamus Heaney said, "Adrian Rice has a nice sense of what he is up to as a poet: I like and admire the way his district and his diction are so artfully tongue-in-cheek and hand-in-glove."
