Synopsis

In Music, Awake Her, Martha Kapos discovers a way of using sonata form to emphasise and reveal key episodes of feeling, ones returned to in different poems written in various moods over a period of nearly 30 years. She imagines sonata form as a narrative structure – with relations to parents giving rise to the two key themes, the child’s conflicts, modulations and resolutions between the two outlining an emotional trajectory that leads from early life, the exposition, through adulthood, development, to the new poems embodying the recapitulations of old age. In his Afterword, American musicologist Lawrence Kramer writes that the ‘revisited past is the only past we have. The question of sonata form is how to find it.’ The interlocking of themes and images here makes this Selected and New Poems a remarkable, and psychologically acute, showcase for Martha Kapos’s work. With an afterword by Lawrence Kramer: Sonata, What Do You Want of Me?

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Martha Kapos was born in the US. Her professional life has brought together both poetry and the visual arts. In 1963 she came to London to study painting at the Chelsea School of Art, and then she taught there for many years in the Art History Department before joining the editorial team at Poetry London in 2001. A pamphlet from The Many Press, The Boy Under The Water, was her first poetry publication in 1989. She was shortlisted for Poetry Review’s Geoffrey Dearmer ‘New Poet of the Year’ award in 2001. My Nights in Cupid’s Palace (Enitharmon, 2003) was a Jerwood/Aldeburgh First Collection Prizewinner. This and her following two collections from Enitharmon, Supreme Being (2008) and The Likeness (2014), were Poetry Book Society Recommendations. The 2019 summer issue of Poetry London was her final issue as Poetry Co-Editor before her retirement. Smile Variations, a pamphlet from Happenstance, came out the same year.
