9781903110294: The Scene Of Mal My Former Triumph

Synopsis

Matthew Caley's second collection The Scene Of My Former Triumph extends his patrol across the liminal borders between urban myth and the myth of pastoral escape.

One tour-de-force is welcome in a collection, there may well be a dozen in this one. Formally outrageous, culturally light-fingered, Matthew Caley s vision and wit make for poems that turn a wondrous, great lamp on the inter-relatedness of all things. In doing this, he aims to stretch English to its full, muscular extension. Caley is a rare beast, an important poet yet to be discovered by his true readership, which is to say everyone. Read this encomium of delights and be glad.
