Perfect Blue Zusammenfassung

Perfect Blue Kona Macphee

From the natural world to war and politics, from memories of childhood to bittersweet snapshots of everyday life, from wry asides to fantastical flights of narrative fantasy - Kona Macphee applies her versatile and polished technique to a characteristic diversity of themes in her second book of poems. Her eclecticism is never more apparent than in the Book of Diseases sequence, which launches from its simple premise into a delirious medley of forms and subjects. The meticulously crafted lyrical poems of Perfect Blue reflect the growing power of a distinctively original, musical and compassionate voice that laments the transience and fragility of life while celebrating the joy of truly living it. Winner of the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize.

Perfect Blue Bewertungen

'Kona Macphee's poetry has a genuine lyricism and mystery, together with a bold experimental diction' - John Greening, Poetry Review. 'Kona Macphee's finest work presents a perspective whose detachment is rooted in genuine care for what it sees, as though the refusal to centre the poems in personal subjectivity will provide the most intimate connection to the world. Add to this meticulous attention a lyricism based on compressed syntax and skilful consonance - an impressive range' - Carrie Etter, Poetry Review. 'Poems of elegant gravitas, terse yet lyrical' - Independent on Sunday.
