A Body Made of You

Melissa Lee-Houghton

4.9/5 (28156 ratings)

Description:Melissa Lee Houghton’s A Body Made of You is a series of poems written for other writers, artists, strangers, lovers and friends. The process began by interviewing each muse, and then working from photographs and in a couple of cases, paintings of them or by them. Charged with sexuality and an uncomfortable sense of the strange, this debut collection introduces a powerful new voice in poetry. “Melissa Lee-Houghton’s highly original and innovative debut might be considered an epistolary tour-de-force, split into fifteen sections dealing with Others identified only by their forename. We begin to see those named through the refractions and concerns of the poems, as they conjure relationships and exchanges, memories and transgressions in strikingly off-kilter, compelling narratives that often contain piercingly memorable lines. The final Other of the collection is actually a sublime self-portrait played out in the form of an interview and indeed the whole book can be seen as an extended interview or interrogation of intimacy. It is an extraordinary achievement and a must-read book for 2011.”Chris Hamilton-Emery "Everything about this collection reveals something about the visceral ugliness and innate passion of the human condition... With a keen eye and sharper tongue, these poems do not shy away from any aspect of self, or language..."MslexiaWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
