Red Gloves Rebecca Watts Carcanet Press Ltd

In this follow-up to her acclaimed debut The Met Office Advises Caution, Rebecca Watts observes and tests the limits of humanity\'s engagement with the non-human. By turns lyrical and narrative, the poems examine familiar subjects - environmental crisis, hawks, hospitals, the sea, barbecues, flowers, Emily Dickinson - only to find their subjects staring, sometimes fighting, back. Nature and nurture, equally red in tooth and claw, power a book-long sparring match between the overthinking poet and the ever-thoughtless universe, between the craft\'s isolation and the world\'s irrepressible variety. Gloves on and gloves off, the poet\'s hands destroy and build, gather and scatter, caress and strike. Σελίδες: 72, Διαστάσεις: 13.5x13.5cm
