Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Peter Bennet is a storyteller who reinvents the world each time he writes, and does so with linguistic resourcefulness and panache, bold imaginative strokes, subversive connections, and dark wit. He has also armed himself with a sophisticated dramatic understanding learned in part from Browning. The borders of the real and the imaginary are frequently breached here, but Mischief, which is his seventh full-length collection, also contains an uncharacteristically autobiographical and revealing sequence which revisits memories from between Bennet's war-time early childhood and his father's premature death in 1953. This writing is so careful, even compressed, that it feels distilled rather than made, having something of the purity and strength of a good single malt. Seventh collection from northern poet previously shortlisted for the T.S. Eliot Prize for The Glass Swarm (2008) - his first since his Bloodaxe retrospective Border (2013). Bennet has a following in the North-East. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

This collection brings together his best work of the past fifteen years, including poems from his T.S. Eliot Prize-shortlisted collection, The Glass Swarm, and his four major sequences, The Long Pack, Jigger Nods, Folly Wood and Bobby Bendick's Ride.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A comprehensive selection of poetry from a poet whose worknothing is what it seems to be. Modern spaces are haunted by the past and the unreal. We cannot tell the encroacher from the encroached. Discontinuities in time and space and playful short-circuitings produce exhilarating shivers.Peter Bennet is an astute observer of people, places, and things, however, and we find ourselves surprisingly at home on this border between plausible narrative and the wilder territories of the imagination.This selection reflects Bennet's full range for the first time, beginning with poems from the early 1980s and drawingon seven collections published since then, including his major sequences: The Long Pack, Jigger Nods, Folly Wood, Bobby Bendick's Ride, Landscape with Psyche and Ladderedge and Cotislea. New work introduced here centres on another major and powerfully imagined sequence, a colloquy which bridges three centuries to evoke the voice of the Quaker James Nayler, who was abominably punished for 'horrid blasphemy'. Substantial retrospective drawing on the lifes work of a distinguished poet celebrating his 80th year, with a new sequence bridging three centuries to evoke the voice of the Quaker James Nayler, who was abominably punished for horrid blasphemy.
