Synopsis

Through the figure of Punch, Burlesque explores themes of identity and the roles imposed on us through circumstance and conditioning. The figure of Punch stands as an icon, the 'paradigm and picture of the age', challenging conventions of how and what we see and feel. The second part examines the way creativity shapes our view of ourselves, the masks we wear, often unconsciously, and how we strive to come to terms with the human condition. Wry humour and irony in the face of suffering and mortality are threads, as well as moments of compassion.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Mick was born in London but grew up in Hertfordshire. He taught in Kent and Cheshire before moving to Carmarthenshire. The village in the Towy valley where he lives faces the hills above Llyn y Fan Fach and the site of the Bronze Age settlement on Garn Goch. Against this background urban influences and the forces of myth and history converge in his writing, combined with the resilience of nature. A winner of the Welsh Poetry Competition, he reads at open mic events in Carmarthen and Llandeilo. This is his third poetry collection with Cinnamon, previous titles being Burlesque and Light Airs. He has also written a collection of prose pieces, Short Cuts.
