Mapping Memory & After the Ball (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

A collection of 30 short poems, accompanied by photographs, Mapping Memory traces imaginary pathways across the Isle of Wight, over several decades. Together with its sister cycle, After the Ball, through word and image Mapping Memory invents what Thomas Hardy called a 'partly dream, partly real' country. Together, the poems and photographs explore the texture of memory, offering brief glimpses into places at once immediately accessible and yet ultimately secret in their echoes and resonances. With a Foreword by James Fleming and an Afterword by Ruth Heholt, Mapping Memory and After the Ball offers a powerful and singular vision of the often intimate relation between memory and place. 'Mapping Memory and After the Ball are an experience in and with words. Moving from the illuminating intensity of haiku to narrative fragments, poem and image become epiphanic revelations, which delve deep into the density of the written word'-Saverio Tomaiuolo 'Powerful poems and pictures of elegiac Tennysonian quality. Wolfreys is, without doubt, a very fine poet'-William Baker
