Necessary (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

David Harrison Horton's Necessary is a poetic exploration of time, place, and connection. Drawing on sources as diverse as Babylonian creation myths, Carolingian history, Marco Polo, Paul Éluard, Elizabeth Willis, and Xinran, Horton layers fragments and imagery into a contemporary meditation on how we come to understand our place within inherited and unfolding narratives.

Structured in a fixed nine-line form, each poem places these elements in dialogue with the movements and longings of a recurring figure, Mr Lusk. As he walks the 'well-beaten path', Mr Lusk confronts the weight of history and heritage, echoing the universal need to reckon with what has come before.

With laconic precision, Horton's voice allows each fragment to resonate, inviting readers to draw their own meaning from the intricate weave of past and present. Necessary is a compelling inquiry into how stories shape us - and how we, in turn, shape them.
