Beschreibung:
Duncan Bush is a poet, a novelist, a dramatist, a translator, and a documentary writer. He is the recipient of the Welsh Arts Council Prize for Poetry and the Arts Council of Wales "Book of the Year" award. He is also the author of several books, including All the Rage, Aquarium, The Genre of Silence, and Masks.
Unsentimental, tough-minded, and fiercely lyrical, these works of poetry are inspired by places visited, including Australia, France, Germany, Greece, Luxembourg, and the United States. Moreover, this collection examines a number of subjects, including the marginal lives of vagrants, gypsies, minor criminals, the burnt-out, and the bereft as well as the accomplishments of superlative athletes and the beauty of the tango. With a touch of bitter political satire, this book radiates a tension between sensual rapture and knowing cynicism.
