Before We Go Any Further

Zusatztext

Shortlisted for the Seamus Heaney First Collection Poetry Prize 2024In Tristram Fane Saunders' first collection, readers encounter a poet whose ingenious forms dazzle, even while exploring darker themes. Drawing on delicious, unconventional rhymes and rhythms, Before We Go Any Further conjures a contemporary London as it maps the ways we try to communicate with each other across real and invented distances.Sphinxes and sea-creatures, sleepwalkers and surrealists visit poems about art and friendship, poems that are'trying to tilt toward love', but'can't help tugging/at the invisibly thin/line between true and honest'. They discover wry humour in that struggle.
