Añadir al carritoPaperback. Condición: new. Paperback. For the past five years the poet Gordon Hodgeon has been confined to his bed. Following a series of unsuccessful operations on his spine, he is now unable to move his arms and legs, and cannot breathe without the help of a ventilator. In the last few months he has lost the power of speech. Today he can only communicate with the outside world by blinking at a Dynavox computer screen or by dictating to his carers, letter by letter. Condemned to painful silence, Hodgeon has continued to write, recording the changing seasons of his disability and the changeless seasons outside his window. The result is this extraordinary series of poems from the furthest edge of human endurance. These are the words of a man who cannot speak, the poems of a writer who cannot pick up a pen. Talking to the Dead is a book about disability and mortality, a painful study in helpless silence. But it is also, movingly, the defiant song of a personality still open to the world and its endless futures. Gordon Hodgeon is not sailing to Byzantium. Instead, he takes the hands of the anonymous and inarticulate dead in the glorious dance of the earth , talking to those who have gone before and those who will come after, reminding us how little changes in our lives, / the loves, the losses, hopes of song, / songs of despair. Today Gordon Hodgeon can only communicate with the outside world by blinking at a Dynavox computer screen. Yet Hodgeon has continued to write, recording the changing seasons of his disability and the changeless seasons outside his window. Confined to his bed for the past five years following a series of unsuccessful operations on his spine, he is u Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Añadir al carritoPaperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Winter Breaks is a no-frills week-end flight to the saddest hotel in the world. It's a grim Saga tour round the pleasures of old age, decrepitude and oblivion. Here you are only as cold as you feel. At the heart of the book is a cycle of poems based on Franz Schubert's Winterreise. Schubert's broken-hearted young man becomes a modern pensioned-off curmudgeon, an anti-romantic for our times. With one foot in the grave and the other in his mouth, the narrator faces loss and the certain expectation of loss with exasperation, anger and caustic irreverence. Gordon Hodgeon carefully picks his independent way across the frozen landscapes of the twenty-first century, glaciers of the heart, melting ice-caps of the spirit. Winter Breaks is a tribute to the nonconformist conscience, located somewhere between misanthropy and humanism, love and despair, mocking the world in which we live, bearing witness against false and unreliable gods. And when winter - like everything else - breaks down, the melting snows reveal the strength of tested values and convictions, the Horatian virtues of friendship, music, family, poetry, love and a determination to enjoy today - because tomorrow will surely be worse. "Gordon Hodgeon is a poet with a larger than usual appetite for the possibilities and complexities of English poetry." Pete Morgan"In poems of family and friendship he turns over a northern upbringing and life with a most remarkable tact, lyric gift - and judgement, without ever being judgmental." Glyn Hughes"Gordon Hodgeon reminds us that the voice of the curmudgeon can be grumpy, irreverent and ribald, but can also convey a sense of loss, fierce humour and gentle melancholy."
