Περιγραφή για Dirt William Letford Carcanet Press Ltd Paperback / softback

There are all types of bodies.If you\'re lucky you\'ll find someone whose skinis a canvas for the story of your life.Write well. Take care of the heartbeat behind it. Billy Letford\'s Dirt revels in the fallow, the tainted, the off , and the unloved. The poems embrace a good life stitched together with bad circumstances, bungled chances, missed callings. Whether loitering on the street corner, \'poackets ful eh ma fingers\', or stumbling from a bar \'like a monkey in the jungle of traffic, stinking, wild and free\', the characters in Letford\'s poems deliver one thing in spades: heart. \'On Friday I visit my seventy-seven-year-old granny. She\'s smoking a joint. It\'s not a surprise.\' Letford\'s words are lightly worn yet carefully measured; they move between English and Scots, lyrical and concrete, accumulating what the poet has described as an array of textures. Resisting modernity\'s unearthly glare, it is a life with grain, with grit, \'rotten with wonder\', that Letford seeks. The poems dig for a grace within dirt\'s humble endurance. \'There\'s dignity there. Lay yourself open.\' Σελίδες: 72
