Praise for T S Eliot Prize shortlisted poet Shane McCrae 'In McCrae's hands, poetry is reclamation. It is also transport: writing a way out and through' Kate Kellaway, Guardian 'Out of personal history, out of the history of an enduringly fractured nation, and out of the deep history of language, Shane McCrae is writing the most urgent, electric poems of his generation' Garth Greenwell 'Shane McCrae is a shrewd composer of American stories' Dan Chiasson, The New Yorker 'Shane McCrae is one of our best, a great poet who mines the rhythms and vernacular of America, excavating the most exquisite of poems. His work is risky, not risqué; intelligent, not clever; deep, not jocular surface play. He is sui generis' Rabih AlameddineHinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
