Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. I can be of use beyond myself. There is no question of my right to board a ship, or take a room. It is as though I were a ghost and I have now been given form. Dr James Barry was many things. He was a pistol-toting dueller, an irascible grudge-holder, a vegetarian, an obsessive cleaner and a brilliant, humane military surgeon who served throughout the British empire, travelled the world with a small menagerie of animals, and advocated for public health reform. Barry was also a transgender man living in the Victorian era, a time when the term 'transgender' was unknown in Western thought. From the author of New Transgender Blockbusters comes a breathtaking, multilayered work that meditates on the life of Dr James Barry. The poems of The Surgeon's Brain imagine Barry's inner worlds and the historical and social pressures that he resisted. As this mesmerising story unfolds and begins to fragment, it speaks to both our past and future ghosts. 'The Surgeon's Brain is not only a narrative - albeit one shattered and shivered to a purpose - it is also gathering of bright human sensations and thoughts. From the feeling of abandonment as a family faces bankruptcy to the stark light, drained colours and strange colonial worlds of South Africa and other outposts of the British Empire, Upperton traverses a long-gone world and its inhabitants in order to revive them. . . . He grants access to the strange world that must always be the realm of the Other, someone who is not us, however we define ourselves.' -David Herkt, Kete 'Upperton has a way of linking the urgency of poetry to the urgency of being human.' -Piet Nieuwland, Landfall A breathtaking, multilayered work that meditates on the life of Dr James Barry. The poems of The Surgeons Brain imagine Barrys inner worlds and the historical and social pressures that he resisted.

Paperback. Condición: New. I was Dick. I teased Anne and George.I was Edmund, betrayed my friendsfor a sweet. Something rotten in me.- from 'My childhood'In his third poetry collection, award-winning poet Tim Upperton takes us to the end of the driveway, over the Manawatu - twisting like an eel - and on to Topeka and Paris. These are poems of acid wit ('I have been to Paris / and apart from the architecture / and the food and some very fine cemeteries / and of course the language / it's quite like Palmerston North'), intimations of loss ('The wrong life cannot be lived rightly. I should know') and unexpected resolution ('like pollen, / like grace so available nobody wanted it'). Unpredictable and restive, A Riderless Horse stands in the everyday and then runs with it.
