Paperback. Condizione: New. Original, inventive,with linguistic somersaults taking centre stage on every page. Who'd imagine a humble scarecrow beingraised to such literary heights? Chris Sparkes has created a heart-felt tour deforce in his Life in the Day of Yevich Romanov. Scaretits, hold on tight toyour straw hats! Maggie Sawkins A feast of tactile rhythms and chewy language.Oracular lines of poetry flow in a vernacular speech spiced with grandeur,honouring a great resonant subject, the birth of perhaps a redeemer.Extraordinary. George Marsh Epic poetry might be considereda prehistoric art form, the stuff of long dead white authors, such as Homer,Virgil, Dante and Milton, the dread and terror of English A level students. Itis no accident that much of such epic poetry takes place physically in therealms of the dead, with visitations to Hades forming key components of TheOdyssey, The Aeneid, The Divine Comedy, and, of course, Paradise Lost. In hisnew work Christopher Sparkes seeks to revive the Epic and imbue it with thebreath of modern life, much as the 19thFrench poet Baudelaire exhortedpictorial artists to abandon the customary fêtes galantes, relegate themto the Neiges d'antan ofVillon, and focus instead on the rich seam ofpotential offered by the dynamic vibrancy of modern life.
