Produktinformationen zu „Signs, Music “
An astounding new collection from the author of the T.S. Eliot Prize-shortlisted All The Names Given, Signs, Music is a beautiful series of lyric sequences about masculinity and fatherhood.
Klappentext zu „Signs, Music “
'I became fatherless at 26 and a fatherat 35 and whenever I look out
the living room window I feel myself
become the child left alone in the house'
Centred around two lyric poems on imminent fatherhood and the birth of a child, Signs, Music is a book about masculinity, fatherhood, and love. The speaker, looking backwards to his late father and forwards to his new son, prepares to become a parent for the first time. Meditating on the cognitive and emotional dissonances between the 'hypothetical' and the 'real' of becoming a father, this irreversible transition causes the poet's 'lines [to] lead towards my father (again!)'.
Charting the ways parenthood disrupts the poet's sense of self, and how the pain of the past triggers fears of 'fatherly failure', Signs, Music is a staggeringly profound collection from one of Britain's most adept poets writing today.
