Readers will search these pages in vain for coverage of Tbilisi or Ararat, or praise for Georgian wine or Armenian brandy . . . although Khachaturian gets an adjective of his own in (all too typically) a piece addressing the post-war architecture of Plymouth. Those familiar with Werner Herzog's masterwork The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser will, however, pick up the reference to Kaspar's dream-and, accordingly, much of this retrospective selection of prose-poems deals in the 'remote viewing' that Herzog's flickering rendition of that dream celebrates. For here are places both far and near, unknown and known . . . from the Sahara Desert to the Tamar Valley, from the doomed flatlands of Bla Tarr's Hungarian puszta to the equally-doomed shores of WG Sebald and Brian Eno's Dunwich.
Autorenporträt
Dreams of the Caucasus is Norman Jope's sixth full-length collection and his second from Shearsman, after Dreams of the Caucasus (2010). Two collections have appeared from Waterloo Press, The Book of Bells and Candles (2009) and Aphinar (2012), and one from Stride, For the Wedding-Guest (1997); he has also co-edited the anthology In the Presence of Sharks: New Poetry from Plymouth (Phlebas, 2006) and a Critical Companion to Richard Berengarten (Salt, 2011 and Shearsman, 2016). Born in Plymouth, he works as an administrator at Plymouth Marjon University and has co-organised Plymouth Language Club's long-running live poetry reading series since 2012 (having been involved with it since its inception in 2000) along with fellow Shearsman author Steve Spence. He has also made frequent visits to Budapest where his partner, the artist Lynda Stevens, lives and works; his most recent full-length collection, Gólyák és rétesek (¿Storks and Strudels¿), was published in Zoltán Tarscay's Hungarian translation by FISz-Apokrif in 2018.
