Produktbeschreibung

Bloomsbury presents Maryville, written and read by Joelle Taylor. A POETRY BOOK SOCIETY RECOMMENDATION 'Taylor's poetry is as dangerous as it is dexterous . . . A wildfire blazing free' BERNARDINE EVARISTO 'Kaleidoscopic in its breath, structure and humanity . . . Both selfless and intimate' ANTHONY JOSEPH ----------------------------------------------------- From the T. S. Eliot and Polari Prize-winning author of C+NTO & Othered Poems comes an innovative collection exploring the scars, hopes and potentialities of dyke counterculture and the queer underground. With a vividly sketched cast of characters, award-winning poet Joelle Taylor uses the Maryville butch bar as a lens through which to consider the underground histories of queer London. The violence and pain of oppression and the beauty and intimacy of community are rendered in awe-inspiring high definition in a collection as filmic as it is familiar. A hybrid chronicle, magic trick, prayer and insurrection, Maryville conjures ghosts back to their bodies, a community to their feet. ----------------------------------------------------- 'Sexy, fearless – and ravishingly beautiful' NEIL BARTLETT 'One of the most powerful voices of our time . . . Joelle Taylor is a genius' CACONRAD

Rezensionen

Delivers layers of brilliance and linguistic ingenuity. Taylor's poetry is as dangerous as it is dexterous, as sophisticated and tensely coiled as it is a wildfire blazing free, as unclichéd as it is unpredictable, as emotionally engrossing as it is imaginatively mind-blowing. From the very first lines that ignite the imagination to the last . . . this is a consistently dazzling work of art
