The Coming Thing is a brilliant long narrative poem. Imelda, the book's central character, is immersed in challenging new worlds where old customs still somehow survive. It is not Evans's first: she has become celebrated for work on this scale, spoken, dramatic, abundant.
The 'coming thing' refers to the arrival of computers which were taking hold and beginning to effect their transformations of data and then of lives; but ultimately the title identifies the abortion which Imelda will have in a Brixton clinic. It is the 1980s and the poem takes shape among punks in Cork City. Imelda, who Evans's regular readers will recall from her earlier narrative Petrol (2012), narrates the story with a light touch, even when the book's preoccupation with abortion, suicide and euthanasia provides a strong and compelling undertow.
