A Question for the King

Beschreibung

How do you avoid getting arrested for shutting up your inner child in a supermarket? And can you send her back? These, and questions for kings and therapists live rent-free in Debby Klein's second collection A Question For the King, a wild sowing of poems and short fictions follows her exciting debut, Love and Other Maladies. A Question For the King tackles hardy perennials like a blowtorch to knotweed. Love, heartache, loss and other maladies burn somewhere near Fahrenheit 451. A sprinkling of myth: a twist of irony. A meander across the dark side sewn with man-traps: longing, regret, failure, addictions, madness, suicide, emptiness and ontology. An antidote to the bleats of personal growth and sirens of self-improvement. The perfect gift for the existentially disappointed.

Autor

Klein has been playwright, activist, counsellor, cabaret writer and performer psychiatric patient and facilitator. She wrote her first poem aged five but on hitting adolescence her poetry became so morose that for decades she concentrated on comedy instead with rather more success as half of the Parker and Klein act. A plunge back into poetry as a performance poet took the art of the morose to a whole new level. Klein's also co-founder of Desperate Poets Inc.
