Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. People we love die. And at the heart of the grief there's a sense of wonder: we can't believe it, where have they gone, what are they now, what does that make us? We end up wondering at life too. Death takes us to the edge of living; grief leads us to question the very limits and designs of life itself. Greta Stoddart's third collection Alive Alive O follows the human impulse to make sense of our mortality. Death is reconfigured not so much to console us but as a way of playing out different scenarios, trying for variants in metaphor and meaning, that we may better accept it. But for all their focus and attention on death these are not poems of despair. In their intensity and spirit our mortal life becomes a thing to behold, even in - or because of - the face of death. Third collection by leading poet previously published by Anvil Press. Her debut At Home in the Dark (2001) won Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize and Salvation Jane (2008) was shortlisted for the Costa Poetry Award. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condition: New. When knowledge is ours at the tap of a key, what is it we're accumulating, and is it at the expense of another, more intuitive, kind of knowing?The word 'fool' derives from the Latin follis, one of whose meanings is 'empty-headed person'. We can't imagine such mindlessness but might it be possible that by 'unknowing' a thing we can start to see it properly? There's a lot the fool doesn't know - otherwise they wouldn't be a fool. But can anyone be trusted to know anything? What can we be trusted to know?A certain apprehension runs through these poems; a low-level hum of discordance between inner and outer worlds, between the sceptical and the wondering mind. Ideas of belief and objective truth play out in various ways, often through lone figures, thinking aloud in a wilful kind of performance of being.Fool is Greta Stoddart's fourth collection. Her third collection Alive Alive O was published by Bloodaxe in 2015.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. When knowledge is ours at the tap of a key, what is it were accumulating, and is it at the expense of another, more intuitive, kind of knowing?The word fool derives from the Latin follis, one of whose meanings is empty-headed person. Such mindlessness is not quite imaginable, but perhaps it is possible that by unknowing a thing we can start to see it differently. Theres a lot the fool doesnt know otherwise they wouldnt be a fool but can anyone be trusted to know anything?A low-level hum of discordance runs through these poems: between inner and outer worlds, between the sceptical and the wondering mind. Ideas of belief and truth play out in various ways, often through lone figures, fools maybe, thinking aloud, continually distracted by the necessary performance of being. Already an established and respected name in the world of poetry and drama, Fool is Greta Stoddarts fourth collection. Her third collection Alive Alive O was published by Bloodaxe in 2015. In 2023, Greta Stoddart won a Cholmondeley Award, a prize which recognises a poet's body of work. The Fool asks questions in Greta Stoddarts fourth collection. When knowledge is ours at the tap of a key, what is it were accumulating, and is it at the expense of another, more intuitive, kind of knowing? What can we be trusted to know?

Paperback. Condition: New. At the heart of many of these poems lies an apprehension of things being lost or destroyed, and with this a need for consolation. The question of how we look for, or create, such solace - whether in faith or the rain, by doing a puzzle or watching TV - is one that threads through the book. In this work - her second collection - there is an increasing scope and depth to language as Stoddart seeks to explore paradoxes: poems of motherhood are double-edged celebrations, grief must come to some good. The ambivalence at work in her first book comes to intriguing fruition here in a collection of original and distinctive poems.…
