Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. Poet Glyn Maxwell has written 9 books of poetry and is a playwright as well. For me poetry is very personal and what I may like others may not. Therefore it's difficult to review. My test on poetry is if I can finish the book then it is at least acceptable. I enjoyed this book and did finish it. Maxwell's poems are sharp and cutting. Thought provoking works that require the reader to stop and think taking in all subleties of the work. I would recommend this book. ( ) Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
In Hide Now, Glyn Maxwell shows how the times have begun to warp time itself: in the poet's vision, the past rears up again with its angry ghosts, the present is racked by its martial and climatic nightmares, and the future has already come and gone. All the stories of the earth seem menaced by just one - to which nations cover their eyes and ears, and from which the grown-ups run and hide. Scheherazade, Robespierre, Dick Cheney and the Reverend Jim Jones all have their place here, though the book's presiding genius is the lonely figure of Cassandra, cursed with knowing the fate of a world that finds her screamingly funny. Glyn Maxwell has established an international reputation as one of the most intelligent and stylishly original English poets since Auden, and he has never written with greater urgency or power. '[Maxwell's] astonishing technical facility can make syllables, vowels and consonants do absolutely anything. His energetic voice riffs through evasively ordinary speech taking on love, politics, comedy and bizarre narratives in brilliantly elaborate syntax and forms' Independent No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
