Shazea Quraishi

The Glimmer (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The Glimmer is a book of poems illuminated by many voices. In an artists' colony in Mexico, a taxidermist tends animals in their afterlife and contemplates what remains of us after death. She is joined by artists including a painter of miniatures, a war photographer, filmmaker, light artist, novelist and a ghazal singer, as well as dancers from Tanzteater Wuppertal, as they reflect on the impulse to make work and meaning in a world that increasingly monetises art. Shazea Quraishi's second book-length collection ranges in form from syllabics and ghazals to OULIPO-inspired anagram poems, drawing on found text and verbatim speech to bring a choir of voices to life. The book ends with two elegies.
