Krátky popis
From our earliest childhood experiences, we learn to see the world
as contested space: a battleground between received ideas,
entrenched conventions and myriad Authorised Versions on the one
hand, and new discoveries, terrible dangers, and everyday miracles
on the other. As we grow, that world expands further, to include
new species, lost continents, the realm of the dead and the lives
of others: cosmonauts swim in distant space, unseen creatures pass
through a garden at dusk, we are surrounded by delectable
mysteries.The question of this contested, liminal world sits at the
centre of Still Life with Feeding Snake, whose poems live at the
edge of loss, or on the cusp of epiphany, always seeking that brief
instant of grace when we see what is before us, and not just what
we expected to find. In ‘Approaching Sixty’, the poet watches as a
woman unclasps her hair: ‘so the nape of her neck/is visible,
slender and pale/for moments, before the spill/of light and
russet/falls down to her waist’. This, like each poem in the book,
becomes an essay in still life and a memento mori, illuminating
transient experience with a profound clarity and a charged, sensual
beauty.
