Caroline Bird

The Hat-Stand Union (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Playful in earnest, Caroline Bird in her fourth book of poems turns familiar stories on their heads. Bird’s protagonists declaim Chekhov in supermarkets, purchase mail-order tears, sing love-songs to hat-stands. Her characters and voices are at once savvy and vulnerable; underlying the exuberance is empathy with those who have lost themselves somewhere along the way. The everyday world of The Hat-Stand Union is beautiful, ominous and full of surprise.
