Synopsis
In But & Though, Jake Hawkey scrutinizes the impact of parental addiction on families, its title a nod to the language of dependency, its circles of prevarication and excuse. Hawkey's poems chart the loss of a father and the resilient love between siblings, and take an unflinching look at a parent-child relationship sometimes painfully inverted through alcoholism.
Hawkey's fresh perspective and playful style introduces a vital, authentic new voice in British poetry. It will appeal also to those interested in the wider literature of addiction and the complexities of urban working-class life in Britain. Hawkey approaches these subjects from highly original and personal angles, breathing life into his characters and settings. Ultimately, we come to know a young writer attempting to 'detach with love' as he strides forward into his own life.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
À propos de l?auteur
Jake Hawkey was born in 1990 and grew up in Woolwich. He studied Fine Art at the University of Westminster and holds an MA in Poetry from Queen's University, Belfast. His moving and hard-hitting collection grew out of an investigation into addiction within families for his PhD research, informed by his own experience of south London's socio-political class dynamics. Hawkey's poems are published in several journals and anthologies, including Hold Open the Door (UCD, 2020), The Honest Ulsterman and Proletarian Poetry. He has had sculpture works commissioned and has read his poems internationally, including on Beale Street, Tennessee, and at L'Abri Fellowship, Massachusetts. He was selected for Poetry Ireland's Introductions series in 2020. His chapbook Breeze Block appeared from Lumpen/The Class Work Project in 2020. But & Though is his debut collection.

Paperback. Etat : New. 'Hawkey's poems are electric, buzzing with all the possibilities of language. He has much to say, and is saying it brilliantly' - Nick Laird, winner of the Forward Prize for Poetry and author of Up LateThe characters that live and breathe in Jake Hawkey's impressive debut poetry collection are playful and spiritual, often both defensive and desperately vulnerable. Taking its title from the language of addiction, with its circles of prevarication and excuse, But and Though leads us on a boy's journey through a childhood overshadowed by parental alcoholism.These are poems on the move in the tapestry of London life - from the hospital ward to the back rows of the bus - where the desire for escape is also, paradoxically, a 'Herculean search for home'. But and Though is a testament to the kinship ties that bind us together, however fraught they become, and a celebration of the working-class identity that defines the poet's native south London. With a voice as spiky and irreverent as it is gentle, Jake Hawkey is a refreshing new talent in English poetry.'This collection moved me to tears. It is not only daring and accomplished, it is real and written by a young man who has been on a long dark journey and found himself with light in his writing hand' - Sally Read, editor of 100 Great Catholic Poems.
