Produktinformationen "Grrrrr"
Grrrrr is the sound of our lives winding themselves up; the sound of our mechanisms continuing the search for Something Wonderful, wherever it may be. It is a weird and comic volume with, at its heart, a huge poem called `Redness' (a kind of antipodean Faust), and two Turkish tales of lust, treachery, violence, treachery, murder, treachery and a stolen minaret. The remaining twelve poems feature Sir Richard Burton discovering what is not new, camels; Tipperary at Easter; Samarkand; a tourist enjoying significance in the wrong place; the necessity of being mad; T.E.Lawrence; insomnia; the dead Fellini; a shoe shop arson; and the diary of a winter in Diyarbakir, a true and personal account. These poems are narratives that redefine narrative: from Tanganyika to Tillo, from Ravenna to Rotorua, by bicycle and by camel, the journey continues, to somewhere surely better, if only we could recognize it.
