Ten Poems from Cumbria (Paperback)
Language: English
Published by Candlestick Press, Nottingham, 2025
ISBN 10: 1913627624 ISBN 13: 9781913627621
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Cumbria is a place of fellside and farmland, of lakes, saltmarsh and rugged coastlines. To the north lies the vast Solway Plain which looks across to Scotland. The poems in this selection conduct us on a journey of lively contrasts. We encounter weather, sheep, history, rivers, towns, traffic and dialect, and experience the vividness of living in a place of wide-lidded skies. On a summer walk we enter a transfigured landscape: This is a selection that crackles with all the colour and energy of England's most north-westerly county. Jacob Polley is a poet and novelist who was born in Cumbria. "The highest reaches of the beech - six trees close-packed - were flame and they were water. The green sun, the red cattle, the blue-faced sheep: everything primary-bright, solid." - from 'Cinderdale' by Helen Farish Poems by Josephine Dickinson, Helen Farish, WN Herbert, Kim Moore, MR Peacocke, Jacob Polley, Phoebe Power, William Scammell, David Scott and Claudine Toutoungi. Cover illustration by Mark A Pearce. Includes one poetry pamphlet, eco-envelope and co-ordinating bookmark with space for your own personal message. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: New. Though still in his mid-twenties Jacob Polley is already in possession of a remarkably mature talent. Formally graceful, but unself-conscious, his poems come at the reader from all angles, wholly alive to the unique possibilities of their subjects - the sea, the land, the home, the very brink of things. This debut collection gives us the first opportunity to see his transforming imagination in action, where a jar of honey becomes '. the sun, all flesh and no bones / but for the floating knuckle / of the honeycomb / attesting to the nature of the struggle'.

Paperback. Condition: New. Winner of the T. S. Eliot Prize for Poetry.Jackself is the fourth collection from one of Britain's finest poets, and sees Jacob Polley at the height of his powers. In one of the most original books of poetry to appear in the last decade, Jackself spins a kind of 'fictionalized autobiography' through nursery rhymes, riddles and cautionary tales, and through the many 'Jacks' of our folktale, legend, phrase and fable - everyman Jacks and no one Jacks, Jackdaw, Jack-O-Lantern, Jack Sprat, Cheapjack and Jack Frost. At once playful and terrifying, lyric and narratively compelling, Jackself is an unforgettable exploration of an innocence and childhood lost in the darker corners of Reiver country and of English folklore, and once more shows Polley as one of the most remarkable imaginations at work in poetry today.T. S. Eliot judging panel described Jackself as 'a firework of a book; inventive, exciting and outstanding in its imaginative range and depth of feeling'.
