Helen rickerby (11 risultati)

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. I write not to communicate or reveal but to mull and conceal, but I guess that's a form of communication too, of connection, of little anchors, little hooks, little holes you can put your eye up to, your heart up to, and maybe you will see something you will recognise. In her new collection - a poetic collage-essay-memoir - Helen Rickerby crafts poems out of personal correspondence and sentences from her journals, cataloguing her life over a tumultuous period of lockdowns, terrorist attacks and mid-life crises. In glimpses of the day-to-day, in occasional bits of Italian homework and dining-room dance parties, pieces of a life are constructed into a sensuous yet disarming whole. Through friendships and grief, joy and love, combining wry humour with philosophical musing, Rickerby reflects on doubt, gaps, the nature of poetry, connection and disconnection, and not going quietly into middle age. My Bourgeois Apocalypse is a work of fragments encompassing the whole of a life. A surprising and genre-bending poetic memoir about the years when everything got weirder. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. "A new poetry collection that takes readers among 'the unsilent women', from Hipparchia to J. K. Rowling. 'Women who speak have always been monstrous. That twisty sphinx, those tempting sirens; better plug your ears with wax, boys. 'Where are the female philosophers? Why are women silenced? Who can tell us how to live? In her fourth collection of poetry, Helen Rickerby takes readers on a journey into women's writing, a quest for philosophical answers, and an investigation of poetic form. The poems in How to Live engage in a conversation with 'the unsilent women' - Hipparchia and George Eliot, Ban Zhao and Mary Shelley.

Paperback. Condizione: Good. 96 pages. Cover worn A new poetry collection that takes readers among ?the unsilent women?, fr om Hipparchia to J. K. Rowling. ?Women who speak have always been monstrous. T hat twisty sphinx, those tempting sirens; better plug your ears with wax, boys.? ?? Where are the female philosophers? Why are women silenced? Who can tell us ho w to live? In her fourth collection of poetry, Helen Rickerby takes readers on a journey into women?s writing, a quest for philosophical answers, and an inves tigation of poetic form. The poems in How to Live engage in a conversation with ?the unsilent women? ? Hipparchia and George Eliot, Ban Zhao and Mary Shel ley. They do so in order to explore philosophical and practical questions: how o ne could or should live a good life, how to be happy, how to not die, how to liv e. Rickerby thinks through the ways that poetry can build up and deconstruct a l ife, how the subtext and layers inherent in poetry can add to the telling of a l ife story, and how different perspectives can be incorporated into one work ? the place where poetry meets essay, where fiction meets non-fiction, where biogr aphy meets autobiography, where plain-speaking meets lyricism, where form pushes against digression. The work is witty (?Perhaps I should ban ?perhaps.? ?) and self-reflexive (?Am I afraid that if I let the words leak out, they?l l mix with oxygen and become prose??) as Rickerby draws on the intensity, symb olism and layering of poetic form, using poetry as a space of exploration of ide as, of thinking, of essaying.…
