Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Sydney Spleen takes Charles Baudelaires concept of spleen as melancholy with no apparent cause, characterised by a disgust with everything and combines it with a contemporary sense of irony so as to articulate the causes of our doom and gloom: corporate rapacity, climate change, disaster capitalism, the plague, neo-colonialism, fake news, fascism, and how to raise kids in a world fast becoming obsolete. The backdrop of this collection of poems is sparkling Sydney and its screens, through which the poet mainlines global angst. Fitchs spleen poems, with their radical use of form and tone, are as much an aesthetic experience as a literary one translation becomes homage becomes satire becomes song; essays become lyrics become rants become dreams. What is a poem when no one believes in the future now anyway? Nor is the collection lacking in humour. Sydney Spleen mocks everything in its crystal glass, yet still finds real moments of connection to celebrate.'Fitchs poems are not interested in slowly unfolding a metaphor or arriving at a singular meaning. Instead, they ask you to cling on for your life.' Sarah Holland-Batt Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Or: An Autobiography explores in poetry fluidities of self, body and imagination.Or: An Autobiography explores fluidities of self, body and imagination. Its central book-length poem 'The Or Tree' is an alternative version of the fictional poem, 'The Oak Tree', which was written by Virginia Woolf's character Orlando (who in turn was a fictional rendition of Vita Sackville-West). 'The Oak Tree' takes Orlando over 300 years to write, in which time they live through multiple eras, burn their poetic oeuvre, have various affairs with poets and critics, a queen, and change gender from male to female. 'The Or Tree' is an assemblage and erasure poem, resurrected chronologically from the six chapters of a burnt copy of Orlando: A Biography. It is an homage to androgyny and the non-binary, or rather, an expression of the fluidity we are all capable of. 'Or' is an alter ego and character in the poem (pronouns they/them), as well as a conjunction, and a ghost. 'The Or Tree' is complemented by an "understorey", a poetic essay that underscores and intertwines with the poem across each chapter in a radical play on the confessional and citational. Or: An Autobiography explores fluidities of self, body, and imagination. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …
