Tender Geometries

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Tender Geometries, the author's first full-length collection, brings together a selection of writing exploring networks of connection. 'The Tangles', 'Nylonase' and 'Sea Pens Pastoral Net', are networks as opposed to serialised writing which feed, entangle, pierce & elucidate within one another. Inter-relational praxis and speciesism weave precariously through a soiled syntax of damage and spoil, stretching the theology of hope toward explorations of the unfamiliar and the culpable erasures yet attentive to a different world. "Indignation at environmental injury and economic corrosion gives us indicative texts capable of sensing what is being damaged and waylaying us at that point to be continuously co-invented - but this can only be reached through an intricate lyric inoffensiveness once again testing the scope of poetry itself. Ambivalent, self-contaminating vitalities are combed through for their appraisals of renewal but which are not thread-bare so much as thread-aware, tangle-replete enough to take part in reprisals of praise." -Peter Larkin

Autorenporträt

Mark Dickinson grew up in Yorkshire and Cleveland, and lives in Westray, one of the North Isles, with his partner and two children. He has written poetry since 17, when he had a chance encounter with a book whilst living in a small fishing village in southern Morocco. He studied at Hull, Palacký and the Centre for Alternative Technology, but has never strayed too far from Oceans and Seas. He practises plant based input farming, simplistic living and sustainable building. His poetry engages with the entanglements of harm through aspects of place.
