Foundry Songs - Softcover

Rhetoric, Dean

 
9781915079602: Foundry Songs

Synopsis

Dean Rhetoric's Foundry Songs examines shame, grief, lust and loss through the emotional upheaval of a troubled adolescence pitted against a post-industrial backdrop. Both gritty and lyrical, Rhetoric combines cutting wit with poignant descriptions of trauma. The poems grapple with God and working class identity, envisioning a world where posh pelicans laugh at seagulls choking on chips, workers on strike protest Richard Curtis and tumours tumble out of jumper pockets. Foundry Songs is a resonant debut collection which pulls no punches.
