Published to coincide with the 700th anniversary of Dante's death, Ned Denny's baroque, line-by-line reimagining - the follow-up to his Seamus Heaney Prize-winning collection Unearthly Toys - shapes the Divine Comedy into nine hundred 144-syllable stanzas.

Hell has never seemed so savage, nor heaven so sublime
