Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Tim Liardet's ability to be surprised and enlightened by experience, his relentless curiosity, and his formal skills, create poems of marvellous dramatic pace and intensity. His extended and refined lines cover subjects as diverse as sex, taxi drivers, and icebergs. A number of the poems are concerned with love, desire, and emotion -- often in very physical forms -- through a wide-ranging, constantly changing, use of detail and example. Liardet's previous collection, Clay Hill (1988) and Fellini Beach (1994), are also available from Dufour. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Shortlisted for the T.S. Eliot Prize 2006Tim Liardet's masterly new collection, The Blood Choir, will surprise readers with its dramatic subject matter: teaching poetry in prison. An acutely observed incident is recalled and given a multitude of perspectives, each perspective resounding with an emotional corollary - sometimes fear, often sympathy. The vision is dark, but not without humour. There is a playful inventiveness and an adroit irony, often at the author's expense. As well as the work inspired by the prison there are digressions: several pieces stem from the foot and mouth outbreak."These scrupulous poems treat the fearful world of prison meticulously, humanely, with rare tact" David Constantine "Liardet leads us to a poetic mode of visionary simplicity. that sense of ecstatic humility perfected by George Herbert." The Times Literary Supplement"Liardet brings a weighty tone of voice. making something new and strange" Independent on Sunday"One of the year's most impressive collections, an extended and carefully crafted reflection by a poet who spent a year teaching in a jail on the way prison dehumanises, but also releases strange kinds of ingenuity. In Goya-esque imagery Liardet shows prisoners wasting talent and time shackled into a single organism."Financial Times, December 2006"The Blood Choir is a work of extraordinary perception and honesty, unsparing with the harsh detail of how the prisoners adjusted to institutional life. Judges, lawyers and guards, whose shadows figure only faintly in this world, could learn much from Liardet's powerful account. And nobody who believes that poetry could occasionally address brutal realities should miss it"Alan Brownjohn, The Sunday Times, November 2006"Liardet's decision to create the sense of incarceration not through a focus on barriers but through an attenuated vision of liberty is particularly effective. The central achievement of this rare and powerful volume is to show us that even in the heart of prison there is the scope for freedom."Sarah Crown, The Guardian, October 2006"This is certainly Liardet's best book to date. It is what poetry is for: to register life, to turn it back into life through language"George Szirtes, Poetry Review, October 2006Tim Liardet was born in London. He is Senior Lecturer in English and Creative Studies at Bath Spa University. He has produced four collections of poetry with Seren. His third collection, Competing with the Piano Tuner, was a Poetry Book Society Special Commendation and longlisted for the Whitbread Poetry Prize in 1998, and his fourth, To the God of Rain, was a Poetry Book Society Recommendation for Spring 2003. The prison poems contained in The Blood Choir won the Smith Doorstop Competition and received an Arts Council England Writers' Award, both in 2003.

Paperback. Condizione: New. In 2006 Tim Liardet's brother died in mysterious circumstances. The Storm House is a book-length elegy that is both grief-fugue and exploration of family psychodrama. The two parts of the book form a powerful narrative of sorrow and anger, the events recollected in the first part extended by the virtuoso sonnet-sequence of the second. From uncertainty, trauma and silence, Liardet generates force and gravity in 'the spring and leap / of energy' that is the creative life owed to the dead.Cover painting: Undercut.

Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. 66 pages. In 2006 Tim Liardet's brother died at a young age in mysterious circumstances. The Storm House is a response to a mystery it knows can never be solved, a book-length elegy that is a grief-fugue and an exploration of the violent, loving, complex psychodrama of family. The two parts of the book form a powerful narrative of sorrow and anger, the events recollected in the first part retold, fragmented and illuminated by the sonnets of the second. Out of uncertainty, trauma and silence, the poet creates powerful poetry that finds catharsis in 'the spring and leap / of energy' of the creative life owed to the dead. (SL#43).
