Krátky popis
'Exceptionally brave and urgent... Moves, shocks and inspires’
BERNARDINE EVARISTO'A wonderful read from an arresting voice’ DIANA
EVANSRachel Long’s vivid new collection is a study of toxic love,
crisis and recovery, at once moving and whip-smart, from one of our
brightest stars in poetry.'At first you eat less because you’re
happy, / so fricking happy, the way you are in high summer / when
you just can’t because of the sun.'Sparrow on the Rooftop tells a
story of new love: the summer-like giddiness of it, the ferocity of
obsession, and the stark hollowing of absence. Alongside this
affair, and unleashed by its intensity, unfolds another story,
half-buried, about our young narrator’s uneasy relationship with
her body: ‘Black girls// don’t get/ eating disorders./ That’s a
white girl/ thing.’Desire, indulgence, denial, and transformation
are some of the themes that animate this engrossing, at times
frighteningly intimate, narrative collection. With fierce wit and
uncommon insight, Sparrow interrogates the self and other, and the
experience of self as other. These remarkable, penetrating,
headlong poems chart disorder and desire, break-up and breakdown,
and the hard path towards recovery, confirming Rachel Long as one
of the most gifted poets of her generation.'Gruesome and intimate,
alive to the rot, funny' SABA SAMS'Satire and play and unflinching
honesty' RAYMOND ANTROBUS
