Medlars

Beschreibung:

Clarkson maps a sense of â rottenness at the heart of thingsâ onto modern England â " its cities, hedgerows, and cultural tensions. Drawing on the symbolism of the medlar fruit, inedible until it softens and sweetens through decay, these poems explore xenophobia, Brexit, hypocrisy, and the strange regenerative mischief found in nature. A bold, atmospheric collection for readers of contemporary British poetry. Photograph available on request. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers mon0001643148
