Beschreibung:
Born in Wellington, New Zealand, in 1950, JOHN GALLAS came to England in 1971. He is currently a teacher in the Leicestershire Student Support Service. His previous Carcanet books include Practical Anarchy (1989), Flying Carpets Over Filbert Street (1993), Grrrrr (1997) and Resistance is Futile (1999). His anthology The Song Atlas: a book of World Poetry, was published in 2002.
Two different paths are taken in the latest collection of poetry by John Gallas, which comprises two volumes in one. Reflecting the poet's fascination with eastern literature, which he tends to experience in Leicester and its environs, "The Coalville Divan ponders a number of themes and uses the great scripts of Persian sages to create moral, miniature movies to return a proverb to the particular lives, moments, and places that made it. "Excellent Men focuses on subjects like Samuel Beckett, Frederico Fellini, and Alfred Schnittke, providing some of the lit-up males of a writer's heart, claimed by admiration, kinship, amazement, love, and a good laugh.
