Salt Modern Poets: Glaciation

Více o knize

WINNER GLEN DIMPLEX POETRY AWARD 2008. Will Stone was recently named a 'European-leaning maverick' by Hugo Williams in the TLS, which may explain why his remarkable voice has been unjustly neglected until now. Stone's poems have a visionary edge to them, replete as they are with a powerful imagery both sublime and unsettling. Suffused with melancholy and a sometimes apocalyptic morbidity, his poetry is also lyrically tender and elegiac, focusing on both the trauma of mankind pinioned by an ever increasing existential insecurity in a debased natural world and the consolation of revealing a poetic 'spiritual' essence still active in certain landscapes.
