Abendland II contains twenty-one poems originally written while travelling in the United States and Europe in 2005 but never compiled in book form.

It is a companion volume to Abendland (2006/2012). Of the poems in the collection, only one, ‘Travelling Types’, was ever published, in Overland.

Thanks again to Katie, Liam, Keiji and Andrea.

The cover image, of the Aran Islands coastline, was taken in 2005.
