What Planet (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | Miriam Gamble | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

The poems in Miriam Gamble's third collection journey surreally through scenes and landscapes at once of the world and of the mind, finding little, as they go, that 'can be claimed self-evident'. By turns uncanny, dark, poignant and uproarious, What Planet sets the individuality of perception and the inventiveness of memory against fixed certainties, probing chaos and madness in a post-truth world. Rhythmically propulsive and dizzyingly inter-connective, Gamble's new work is as formally adventurous as it is conceptually distinctive, stretching syntax, jumbling the solid and spectral, crossing borders of time and space. Miriam Gamble won an Eric Gregory Award in 2007, and the Ireland Chair of Poetry Bursary Award in 2010. She lectures in creative writing at Edinburgh University.
