Typically set in regions torn apart by wars, the poetry of James Sutherland-Smith reflects the breadth of his experiences on the front lines and in the Middle East and Middle Europe. The language of these poems ventures into foreign and domestic places and expresses the sentiment that what is most strange is found not in the exoticism of remote locales but close to home. Delving into nature, politics, and the self-discoveries and self-deceptions of sexuality, the poems are marked with a fascination with appropriate language and are alive to the textures of the world.

Paperback. Etat : New. James Sutherland Smith's poems draw on his experiences of life in the Middle East and Middle Europe; what is most strange, they tell us, is to be found not in the exoticism of remote locales, but close to home. His language ventures into foreign and domestic places, into nature, politics, and the self-discoveries and self-deceptions of sexuality. A poem may begin as a purposeful quest but find its meaning in falling by the wayside. It may set out in full possession of its wits and end the journey distracted and unsure. All the poems are marked by a fascination with appropriate language and are alive to the textures of the world. N° de réf. du vendeur LU-9781857546415
