Riassunto

Chris Greenhalgh's distinctive third collection is a book of sensuous meditations on time and mortality, love and art. At its heart is a suite of prose poems. Intimate in tone, formally experimental and lyrically charged, they pick up and develop threads from his title, "The Invention of Zero".

Su questo libro

Recensione:

Sheer brilliance of language carries its own zest in easy intimacy. Greenhalgh writes with all his senses alert. --BILL TURNER, Poetry Review

Entertaining and bizarre...When Chris Greenhalgh gets it right, which he often does, he is very good indeed. --NICK LAIRD, Times Literary Supplement

Anecdotal in tone, yet linguistically sensuous. --JANE HOLLAND, Poetry Review
