In this meditative Between the Ears, poet Aidan Tulloch checks in to the depots, the fulfilment centres, the dockyards, the stockyards, and the backyards that are all responsible for the way we live now, piecing together a vivid fever dream of light, speed, noise, melancholy, and the open road. Following the supply chain from the container port to the doorstep, he seeks out its hidden corners and all the people who make things move.
