Here are traces left of presence: Indian scratchings on rock, the nail-marks of destroyed frescoes, spoken fragments of war memories - petroglyphs that function as both memorials and re-awakenings, traceable with the finger of the imagination. And here, too, are images of the stilled, the stopped life: a snowed-up village, the paralysed victim of motor-neurone disease, a soft drink fermented in an old village cafe. From this rueful equilibrium of mid-life, Thorpe circles his own personal history, allowing regret and anticipation their Janus-like say. These are erudite, generous poems, formally versatile yet rich in startlingly original observation and a natural lyric grace. Performing his unique archaeology on lives lived, Adam Thorpe once again displays the range of his imagination and the depth of his humanity.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 198mmItem Length: 132mmItem Width: 8mmItem Weight: 120gAuthor: Adam ThorpeGenre: Literary CriticismRelease Year: 2003 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
