Recensione
It sometimes seems that contemporary poetry divides into two sorts - those poems that did not need to be written and those written out of necessity. Denise Riley belongs to the second category - her writing is perfectly weighted, justifies its existence. It is impossible not to want to "say something back" to each of her poems in recognition of their outstanding quality. Her voice is strong and beautiful - an imperative in itself . . . remarkable (Guardian)
Denise Riley's new collection Say Something Back is a moving reminder that she's one of the best poets around (Andrew Motion Guardian)

Say Something Back
Da: Crappy Old Books, Barry, Regno Unito
Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: Good. Welcome to Say Something Back (2016) by Denise Riley (Picador Poetry), ISBN 9781447270379 ? a poetry collection with a title that sounds like a cheeky dare in an argument, until you realise it?s also the most heartbreaking request imaginable: please, answer me. Because this is Riley writing out of grief, and the ?something back? isn?t witty repartee. It?s the impossible reply from someone who can?t reply. The book circles loss with a mind that is fiercely intelligent and a voice that refuses to turn emotion into easy sentiment. If you?re looking for soft-focus consolations, this isn?t that. If you want language that tells the truth about grief ? its blankness, its sudden swerves, its odd practicality, its surreal everydayness ? then this book is devastatingly good company. Riley?s style is a strange, powerful mix: plainspoken at first glance, but edged with philosophical precision. She can write a line that feels like it?s just describing an ordinary moment, and then you reread it and realise it has shifted the floor under your feet. There?s a constant tension between the mind trying to make sense of what happened and the reality that grief doesn?t ?make sense? so much as happen , repeatedly, in waves, in interruptions, in flashes of memory that arrive without warning and then refuse to leave. The irony is that the poems often sound conversational, even casual ? but the craft is exact. Riley knows how to let silence into the page. She knows how to stop a poem mid-thought so the reader feels the absence. She knows how to make the ordinary world look suddenly alien, as it does after a death: the kettle still boils, the bus still comes, people still talk nonsense, and yet everything is fundamentally altered. The poems don?t perform grief. They inhabit it. There?s also a sharpness here ? a refusal to let language become ?beautiful? in the way grief-writing is sometimes expected to be. Riley can be funny, too, in that bleak, human way that shows up in the middle of pain, when you notice something absurd and it?s either laugh or collapse. The book?s power is that it doesn?t tidy the experience. It doesn?t reach for a neat ending. It keeps faith with the truth: that grief is ongoing, and that words can both fail and matter at the same time. Condition: Good , meaning this copy has been read and handled ? which makes sense. People don?t usually buy Riley to leave untouched on a shelf like a decorative object. This is the kind of book you pick up, put down, carry around, return to. Expect a little honest wear, but it?s still completely ready to do what it does best: offer language that?s rigorous, raw, and strangely clarifying. Perfect for: readers who want grief written without cliché, lovers of modern poetry with philosophical bite, anyone who values precision over sentiment, and people who understand that sometimes the bravest thing a poem can do is tell the truth plainly. Sold by Crappy Old Books , naturally ? because where else would a book this quietly fierce end up, if not waiting for the next reader to open it and find a voice that doesn?t pretend to fix anything, but still manages to speak into the silence. THIS BOOK BEARS THE CRAPPY OLD BOOKS STAMP. IF THAT IS UNDESIRABLE PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS. THE STAMP MARKS WHICH IS USUALLY TO THE FRONT AND BACK INNER PAGES SAYS SOLD BY CRAPPY OLD BOOKS WITH WEB SITE URL. IT IN NO WAY DEMINISHED FROM THE READING. IF YOU WANT A PRISTINE BOOK, PLEASE FIND ANOTHER BOOK IN BETTER CONDITION SOMEWHERE ELSE. Codice articolo 5491
