Descrizione libro Softcover. Condizione: new. Manganese starts with a murder in China in the age of Confucius and ends with a sestina about a difficult family Christmas in front of the television. Plain-spoken narrative is juxtaposed with an enigmatic, densely woven imagery exploring fugitive states of mind. Uniting these extremes is a restless, rhyme-driven craftsmanship, energetic in making new forms as well as in exploiting traditional ones. The focus ranges from landmarks in cultural history, such as the first performance of Nijinsky's ballet L'apr?s-midi d'un faune and the first Boy Scout camp, to the poet's responses to a serious cycling accident. There are versions of ten of Rilke's Sonnets to Orpheus, following the rhyme scheme of the original German, and a long section of poems ('Skywatching') that combine conventional with consonantal rhyme, often capturing thoughts that travel too fast or too deep for reason.Sparkling with bravado and wit, but with moments of disarming tenderness, Manganese is one of the most abundantly various collections of poetry to appear in recent years.

Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. An elaborate poetic weave of fact and fiction, rich in incident, enigma, wit and feeling - starting with a murder in China in the age of Confucius and ending with a sestina about a difficult family Christmas in front of the TV. Enigmatic, densely woven imagery exploring fugitive states of mind is juxtaposed with a plain-spoken narrative in this collection of poetry by Robert Saxton. Starting with a murder in China during the age of Confucius and ending with a sestina about a difficult family Christmas in front of the television, a restless, rhyme-driven craftsmanship, energetic in making new forms as well as in exploiting traditional ones, unites these extremes. The poetry's focus ranges from landmarks in cultural history, such as the first performance of Nijinsky's ballet "L'apres-midi d'un faune, to the poet's responses to a serious cycling accident.
