Paperback. Condizione: New. Figures of history and legend, contemporary figures, the poet's friends and neighbours, and some goddesses rub shoulders in these poems, which begin with the formation of continents and continue into the present. Many characters speak for themselves, more are spoken about, and there are verse letters to friends. A big sequence starts in the village of Holme in West Yorkshire, comes back often to Jacqueline who 'came inland', visits the Stone Age, Europe, Asia, China and Massachusetts, and ends among the may trees of Holme. 'A poem is a search for values', and these poems look for 'mays' and certainties, thoughtful and moving. The style is allusive, the forms are various, there are puns, assonance, repetition and a profusion of half-rhymes too clever by half. These poems look outward, and reassert the music of poetry. This is Chris Preddle's third collection.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Anne Askew on the Kafka Machine is an affectionate andat times startling poetic account of life growing up in Ireland. The poems are earthy and lyrical against a backdrop of political events. There is a nod to Irish folklore, and to the myths that connect people to their land and which shape their sense of time and destiny. Barbara writes in a way that is succinct and witty, showing how simple yet significant human relationships are, infusing her poems with tender details while never taking her eye off the inevitable endings that are interwoven into human destiny.

Paperback. Condizione: New. In this work, Todd Swift pursues his exploration of how art, fantasy, and desire can console, or inflame, the heart - and how, against the vastly more powerful claims of reality, the imagination can do no more than offer its impulsive, fragile and poignant gifts. Love and lust, fear and trust, hope and despair are tangled.

Paperback. Condizione: New. In poems as tautly constructed as they are trenchantly observed, Winter, Glossolalia probes the nature of language to depict the world from which it springs. Paired with humorous, often satirical images, this collection explores human ingenuity and creativity against the material resources of the given world, highlighting the possibilities and the limits of artistic making. In that sense, it is both a timely and enduring book, one that recalls Virgil's Georgics as readily as it evokes the crisis of anthropogenic climate change.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Todd Swift's latest trip to the world of desire and retro style, sometimes Lynchian in scope. Rhetorically wild at heart, these onrushing poems of religion, marriage, sex and phantasy establish Swift as one of the auteurs of contemporary English poetry. His 33-year-oeuvre is now, more than anything, its own cinematic universe of replicated tropes, fetishes, words and allusions. This could be a psychobiography dreamt up by Freud. Over it all looms the year 2016: the deaths of Bowie and Cohen, and Trump's rise - but the crowning achievement heremay be the poems celebrating recent books by Denise Riley and Derek Mahon, who each create a 'bridge of eloquence'.

Paperback. Condizione: New. valid, virtual, vegetable reality is written in a range of forms associated with 'transmission': from Roman georgics to the lesbian manifesto, from the satellite radio wave to computer programming code.

The poems in this collection propose sex as a way to connect and disconnect; sexual fantasy as a way to virtually transform the city; and the citation of LGBTQI+ literary ancestors as a way to make a home.

Paperback. Condizione: New. These poems take the reader on a fantastic journey through the first season of the hit 1960s TV series I Dream of Jeannie. Each poem corresponds to an episode in that season, originally aired in 1965. Watching on the black and white set from her loungeroom in Perth, Western Australia, the poet, like millions of other little girls, dreamed of being the sultry Jeannie who lived inside a glass-stoppered bottle in a bachelor's house in Cocoa Beach, Florida. Revisiting the series as an adult, the poet recreates a world in which a woman searches for love with a surly astronaut, using her superpowers to further her quest.
