Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A brand new collection of verse by Jack Alun, following on from his widely acclaimed first collection, Vertical Horizons.Inspired by place but seeking out the unseen, redefining the experience of traveller but looking back and seeing the heartbreak, the fear, the simple joy and madness of the world, this is Jack Alun's finest collection to date. By turns haunting and confessional and full of fantastic story-telling, these poems witty and profound rekindle themes that touch us all: growing old, love, mortality, travelling and eating dodgy ice-cream and dreaming of death on a moped.Humorous, poignant, sometimes absurd, Invisible Spaces offers a highly individualistic view of the world. Employing a mixture of recollection, closely observed incident and emotion, the book explores a range of subjects, places and ideas with a light touch and simply expressed structure. But, above all, Invisible Spaces is a book of poetry that is both readable and never dull. From the Prologue: 'Apropos of nothing or maybe hoping to end a drought of ideas, I started rereading Homer's Odyssey. A strange time, as it happened - a lull before a storm, a phoney war - when nothing much, apart from two brief trips to Malta and Mallorca, seemed to be of stimulus. Then again, one can't quite ignore the connection between the two islands and their sea vistas and what I began to read. But, like everyone else, I couldn't imagine what was about to happen next. I was in the process of formulating ideas for a series of poems around Odysseus's travels when Covid struck and the world, as we had experienced it, imploded, with all the curtailment and confinement that that implosion came to entail. Gradually, as the days mounted and with them a drift towards introspection, my ideas began to take on a far more personal, inquiring approach in what I was writing, so that the result, Invisible Spaces, is a collection of poems that journeys both inwardly and outwardly, exploring encounters with a range of people, places and events through the mirage of a single mind, the invisible space.'. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - In this stunning first collection Jack Alun draws on twenty years of living in a rural area of the Midi, France to go beyond the clichéd and the picturesque and to prise out the raw, timeless and human elements in plain and compelling language. And behind the characters is a landscape that is at once stark, familiar and impersonal that undercuts every human action.In the second part, Vertical Horizons recounts the discovery of the grave of Christian da Silva, the local raconteur, singer, editor, publisher, teacher, poet and bon viveur. In the ambitious imagined dialogue between the dead poet and the living poet it becomes a homage to language, to poetry and to the powerful effect that the past has on our perspectives.Alun first came across this intriguing, relatively unknown poet when looking at the headstones in the village graveyard. His was a rock with a brass plate screwed to it, read simply - Christian Da Silva, Poet. Wishing to find out more, he went to Villefranche where he ordered a copy of his one book still in print, and then to a second hand bookshop, where he found another. After reading through both books, he decided he'd translate them into English, but as he began he soon felt that he was losing something of the colour and playful magic of the original. By this time Da Silva's voice was so much inside his head that when he sat down to write he found he was involved in a sort of poetic schizophrenia and very soon the Vertical Horizons section of the book was born from da Silva's phrases, words and ideas. The resulting playful yet serious interchange hopefully has turned out to be a far more fitting tribute, and in a contemporary form that maybe Da Silva would have approved of.…
