Description

An exciting new series in the massively acclaimed English poet Simon Armitage. Using its vibrant variety of tall-tales, allegories, and dramatic monologues, this absurdist, unreal pursuit of society provides us a refrain of memorable and distinctive sounds. Each one is welcome only at that twilit, experienced circus: the person whose wife drapes an edge-layer over the center of the marital residence; the black bear with a dark secret; the girl who runs large snowballs while in the fridge. “My partner gained me in a covered market but wouldn’t / inform me just how much she bid,” starts one speaker; “I hadn’t designed to proceed grave taking with Richard Dawkins / but he is able to be quite convincing,” we are told by another.
