Quite what I would expect from Bilston's style, with some new work in there I hadn't yet seen that I really enjoyed. I do think he has a knack for language in the way he plays with it and makes it work in a way that shows he has mastered this funny language of ours incredibly well. I just wish that more of his poems were as engaging as some of the ones in this book were. ( ) I listened to this, read by the author, and it was, quite simply, a delight. Divided into 4 sections, the first is about love and romance, but all in a very down to earth style. No roses and pink fluffy clouds in here. Then there are sections that are more political, about words and the proces of writing poetry at all and finally about relationships and people. I loved the humour in it, the lack of rose tinted glasses, the way that he takes time to poke fun at himself and the expectations of poetry. There are many times when you anticipate the next word or rhyme and he subverts that by sending you somewhere else. The poem about procrastinaiton was simply superb and right on point. This was a most delightful way to spend an hour or so. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
'Someone who knows their way round both a joke and a bittersweet narrative.' The Times 'Part John Cooper Clarke, part Frank Sidebottom . . . all brilliant.' Esquire 'Bilston is a magician with words' Guardian Alexa, what is there to know about love? is a wonderful collection of poems about love in all its forms, covering everything from romantic love to familial love, to long-distance love, and even love on the internet. The collection also features poems about the true passions for many booklovers, reading and literature, and the odd one about the subject causing many of us heartbreak: politics. With titles like 'Hold My Hand While We Jump Off This Cliff' and 'Remembrance of Things Pasta', there's something for even the most jaded romantic within these pages. The perfect, witty gift for Valentine's and beyond. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
