Περιγραφή για Thorpeness Alison Brackenbury Carcanet Press Ltd Paperback / softback

There is something richly circumstantial about Alison Brackenbury\'s poems: they are often rooted in a rural world, or in townscapes which sustain communities and preserve a strong sense of their history and what it gives them. Thorpeness has delicious surprises, among them \'Aunt Margaret\'s Pudding\', a rewarding culinary experience based on a black-covered handwritten notebook of recipes from Dorothy Eliza Barnes, \'Dot\', the poet\'s grandmother. \'When I knew Dot, she was a Lincolnshire shepherd\'s wife. But, as a young woman, she had been an Edwardian professional cook,\' the poet explains, making her notebook a resource for the contemporary reader. The world of nature - birds, plants, weathers - comes alive in poem after poem, but there are also important poems of nurture. Brackenbury belongs in a long line of rural and provincial poets who bring England alive in forms and rhythms of renewal. She is a familiar radio voice, performing her won poems and narrating programmes she has scripted. Σελίδες: 104, Διαστάσεις: 13.5x13.5cm
