Lesley Harrison Kitchen Music (Paperback). A poetry of spareness in multilayered depths, of textural silence and aural place, Kitchen Music plunges deep through the strata of language where “weather is body” and an Iceland poppy is “as delicate as birch.”. Further DetailsTitle: Kitchen Music Condition: New Description: In her first book-length collection of poems to appear in the US, Lesley Harrison looks North to the sea, with the heat of the land at her back, to bring us meditations on whale hunts and lost children, Manhattan sky towers, and the sound of the gamelan in the Gulf of Bothnia. A poetry of spareness in multilayered depths, of textural silence and aural place, Kitchen Music plunges deep through the strata of language where “weather is body” and an Iceland poppy is “as delicate as birch.” In poems and sequences of poems, Harrison spins folktales into threads of family and gender, engages with the work of the artists Roni Horn and Marina Rees, transcribes John Cage and Johannes Kepler into song and litany, pens a hymnal of bees, and turns to storms, glaciers, and the lapwing life in a field of young barley. As the novelist Kirsty Gunn writes in the foreword, Harrison has “taken up the old white whale of the fixed and masculine narratives and made of its seas and weathers her own Moby Dick, a female poetry ‘in praises / repeated, repeating.’” Author: Lesley Harrison EAN: 9780811235037 Country/Region of Manufacture: US Contributor: Kirsty Gunn (Foreword by) Format: Paperback ISBN-10: 0811235033 ISBN: 9780811235037 Item Height: 206mm Item Length: 132mm Item Width: 10mm Item Weight: 130g Genre: Poetry & Drama Publisher: New Directions Publishing Corporation Release Date: 05/02/2023 Language: English Topic: Home Garden & Pets, Travel & Transport Type: Poetry Release Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
