Synopsis

Book by Dischell Stuart

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Good Hope Road is one of those rare books of verse that combine lyricism with the momentum of narrative, a concern for dailiness with a willingness to embrace wildness. Like Joyce s Dubliners, the twelve poems of the opening sequence, Apartments, reflect a wide panorama of contemporary urban consciousness. Dischell s subjects are wronged lovers, thwarted citizens, an idealistic veteran, bickering relations all with their entangled, fractious alliances. In Household Gods, the book s second section, Dischell presents dramatic monologues whose scenes are the shore, the city, and the countryside. Here are homages and elegies; poems of childhood, betrayal, and loss. Observant and compassionate, this edition of Good Hope Road reintroduces the work of a striking and powerful writer."
