Poems

Beschreibung

"Jackie Craven toys with time in Whish, winner of the 2024 Press 53 Award for Poetry. Surreal prose blocks follow the uneasy relationship between a wistful narrator and shapeshifting characters--managers, bookkeepers, secretaries--who manifest as hours of the day. 'It's rare to find such perfect prose poetry, ' says series editor, Tom Lombardo. 'Jackie Craven's abrupt swerves and disruptive metaphors drop readers off cliffs, repeatedly.' Startling, provocative, and darkly comical, Whish speeds along a 'quantum highway' where memory and loss plume into stained glass light"--
