Cannibal Delia

Andrew Hinkinson

4.9/5 (19134 ratings)

Description:The narratives in this exciting collection of verse cover a lot of ground. There's the old woman who never grew up, the terrorist who wants to be a Dalek, the kid who threatens to mug you but is scared of what his mum might do to him if he does. Meet a failed actor, a male model and a Victorian woman grieving for her lost child. Read the ancient myth of Romulus and Remus retold in modern verse and ponder just what a river might say if it could talk. Spirituality of a decidedly pagan flavour weaves a spell throughout, with poems about Samhain (Halloween), travelling Celtic bards and the imagined story of Merlin's initiation into Druidry, told from the wizard's own perspective. The title poem takes a darkly comic swipe at celebrity chefs. You'll never look at a Sunday roast in quite the same way again. There is humour and sadness in equal measure here. You can move from reading a poem about rock star Kurt Cobain's final moments of life to a romantic account of watching a lover as he sleeps, then onto a poem about what lies buried and forgotten beneath our feet by all but the soil itself. The journey is funny, at times disturbing in its imagery but consistently exhilarating. Andrew Hinkinson-Hodnett studied poetry under the tutelage of some of Britain's brightest, best-known poetic names including Simon Armitage and Carol Ann Duffy, the UK's first-ever female Poet Laureate. Their influence shows. This collection sometimes shocks but it doesn't try to be controversial. It's simply honest. It will also make you smile. 'Cannibal Delia' crackles with enthusiasm for words, life and the English language. Buy it and discover a great new poet today.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
