Produktbeschreibung
Pure Hustle is concerned with imagination - as a means of escape and of illumination, and as a destructive and redemptive force. Its finely honed urban landscapes are shot through with myth, storytelling, and the lure of transformation. Kate Potts' poems are tightly wrought and multi-layered webs built out of sound, rhythm, and wordplay that invite re-reading. With a startling and idiosyncratic eye, often photographic or cinematic, she examines the shifting, fractured nature of memory and the strangeness of love. Her choice of material and inspiration is enthusiastically wide ranging, from cross-continental bus trips to the daily commute; from the grand passions and chronic uncertainties of a world in flux, to the trials of a day at the office.
