This Thing That Is Not a Thing

Beschreibung

This Thing That Is Not a Thing says a lot with little. Economy of words in fine, colourful form, these poems by Paulette A. Ramsay prompt the reader to question human perception - ways of seeing the world and ways people view each other. Weaving the everyday with the extraordinary, heaviness of heart with humour, grief and gratitude, This Thing That Is Not a Thing centres absence - absence of voice, of persons, of trust and affection - showing how silence, in particular, shapes experience and expression.
