Before We Go Any Further by Tristram Fane Saunders Paperback Book

Description: Before We Go Any Further by Tristram Fane Saunders This first collection by New Poetries poet and Telegraph poetry editor is at once brilliantly witty in language and formal ambition, and wryly dark in its themes. FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description 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 cant help tugging/at the invisibly thin/line between true and honest. They discover wry humour in that struggle. Author Biography Tristram Fane Saunders lives in London and works as a journalist. He is the author of five pamphlets including The Rake (The Poetry Business, 2022), and is the editor of Edna St Vincent Millay: Poems and Satires (Carcanet, 2021). His poems have appeared in The TLS, The White Review and Poetry Ireland Review. Review Tristram Fane Saunders is a joyfully idiosyncratic new voice in contemporary poetry; cultured, wry, formally adept, and adroitly musical. But what I love most is the deep compassion beneath the play. Many of these poems seek remedy for their suffering beloveds, only to be openly frustrated by their own limitations. These moments of radical kindness and vulnerability completely floored me, and make this a collection to cherish. - Fiona Benson; Before We Go Any Further would be a striking debut on the strength of its formal confidence and original phrasemaking alone; but what separates it from the competition is its shamelessly bold return to a poetry of the imagination, to poetrys old tradition of making it new. These poems see it as their business to make connections, shed light and extend their empathies into the world; that they do so with such originality and flair makes for one of the most purely enjoyable and invigorating first collections Ive read in a long time. - Don Paterson Details ISBN1800173253 Author Tristram Fane Saunders Publisher Carcanet Press Ltd Year 2023 ISBN-10 1800173253 ISBN-13 9781800173255 Publication Date 2023-06-29 UK Release Date 2023-06-29 Format Paperback Imprint Carcanet Press Ltd Place of Publication Manchester Country of Publication United Kingdom NZ Release Date 2023-06-29 Pages 84 DEWEY 821.92 Audience General AU Release Date 2023-06-28 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
