Liam Guilar

Lady Godiva and Me

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

A sequence of poems about the City of Coventry, moving from the historical Godgifu and her husband Earl Leofric, via the legend of Godiva to the present day. From reviews of the first edition: 'Guilar has brought together a cast of characters that speak out of history and from the present time, real people who live and breathe with engaging frankness. They are varied in personality, held here in small jewels of poetry that sparkle with wit and strength. These are people worth meeting'. Joanna M. Weston Poetryreview Ca. 'I am impressed by the writing, which demands full and careful attention. To read these poems, the reader must inhabit the world, or the voices, of the writing; must engage with the rhythms, and the spare poetic structures. The poems are conversational, in the sense that they are made to be read aloud as well as on the page; but their sometimes declaratory structures are tight and taut without being confining'. Bronwyn Levy Review of Lady Godiva and Me. Text
