1829

Opis produktu

In 1829 Alison Brackenburys first collection for seven years the poet travels to three continents: there are poems from her Asian African and European journeys and the different peopled landscapes that she visits are evoked with her resonant lightness of touch her granting rhythms and the grace of a subtle distinctive prosody.The title poem was broadcast as part of the Mozart bicentenary celebrations on BBC Radio 3. Music has always featured in Brackenburys poems: in this volume which risks the dark of a minor key it becomes a central motif. The poems travel in time as well as space. They also stay at home in a world of disorderly domesticity with cats and ponies. Peter Forbes editor of Poetry Review describes her as incontrovertibly the real thing with an insistent insidious music that once learnt becomes addictive.
