Sinopsis
Drawing on Romany language, storytelling and the speech of birds, award-winning poet David Morley offers a provocative and passionate invitation to reflect afresh on the ways in which the lives, stories and fate of humans – and the more than human – are twinned and entwined.
In poems that crackle with verbal energy, he invokes a world where God is Salieri to Natures Mozart, in which hummingbirds hover like actors in a theatre of flowers, pipistrelles become piccolos, swans swerve comets, and a Zyzzyx wasp is a zugzwang of six legs and letters. There are exuberant celebrations of Romany language in the style of Edward Thomas; of how a Yellowhammer inspired Beethovens Fifth Symphony; of the world-shaping discoveries of women scientists; and an autobiographical sequence, which roots this poets authority and reflects on how power shapes what may be said in public.
