Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In this intimate, confiding poetry collection, Patrick McGuinness shows how identity is layered, permeable, always in motion - how we are always actor and audience to ourselvesIn this intimate, confiding poetry collection, McGuinness shows how identity is layered, permeable, always in motion - how we are always actor and audience to ourselves'This is McGuinness's best collection by far, and stands out from the crowd'SUNDAY TIMESIn Blood Feather, a book of doubling and displacement, we see time in a new way- the past, personal and collective, lingering as an ever-present ghost - while lost beyond recall.The first section, 'Squeeze the Day' - a series of deeply moving poems about the author's mother, displaced between languages - investigates her illness and death; how being bilingual is like having a double, a second self; how each self haunts the other. 'The Noises Things Make When They Leave' elegises today's post-industrial landscapes, their people and professions- sidelined by literature, bypassed by globalisation. The final sequence, 'After the Flood', links the book's themes, seeking a way of seeing things for the first time and the last time simultaneously. Exploring the gaps between languages and between our selves in language, Patrick McGuinness dreams of a new tense in which the world's losses are redeemed-It's the anniversary of my mother's death,and it's my mother's birthday -the day she short-circuited the tenses,made the current flow both ways.A clear-sighted, intimate new poetry collection from the prizewinning author of Other People's Countries and Throw me to the Wolves.
