Inhaltsangabe

Trawlerman s Turquoise, Matthew Caley s sixth collection, features various seemingly recherché elements telepathy, Madame Blavatsky, epistolary novels, muse worship, Balzac s coffee addiction and Thomas Merton s accidental electrocution amongst them not always as straightforward subject matter , but caught up in the backdraft of the poems acceleration. The book s title derives from the long, central, hyper-associative poem, from The Foldings trawlerman s turquoise being a phrase to describe a psychic glimpse of the ocean for perennial inner-city dwellers, who have only ever heard rumour of one. Caley s lyrics and love poems are poised between sincerity and its inverse, and a seeming parallel world , which gradually emerges, sits at odds with, and sheds light on, the current state of our actual world full of melting borders, random dangers, shifting identities, misread communiqués, false reports and information overload destabilising and exhilarating in equal measure.
