Synopsis
Ian Duhig’s witty and bizarre poems are profane and profound, often drawing on tall tales and strange episodes from history, Irish legend and colonial lore. Their focus in his second collection is the stuff of urban myth, the Mersey Goldfish. Legend traces the goldfish through the handiwork of Imperial Byzantium’s Fabergés to the Goddess Mnemosyne, who spirited her muses into this form. The Mersey Goldfish, like the Wild Bolonial Koi, is just such a half-brother to Art. It commonly circles these islands and their peoples’ concerns and fantasies, just beneath the surface of words. According to Duhig… Shortlisted for the T.S. Eliot Prize.
