The Bridal Suite by Matthew Sweeney
A collection of surreal, lugubrious fables for our time, full of the author's usual mordant wit and invention, his unhealthy interest in the weakness of the flesh.
The Bridal Suite
Summary
This collection of Matthew Sweeney's poetry is much possessed by death, for it contains works on corpses and body-parts, drownings and burials. However, it also includes vigorous antidotes to this gleeful morbidity, such as a description of crossing the Channel on a horse.
