Helen Seymour

The Underlook (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The Underlook balances precariously between the real and the surreal. Informed by experiences of physical disability, surgery, and medical trauma, this collection articulates a life lived under the bed, at the bottom of a well, in the glances exchanged between doctors. The poems revel in the uncanny and in the power of ignored or repressed spaces, summoning us under to 'listen ... crouch down ... press [a] hand against the white gloss shuddering'.
