Produktinformationen "When This World Comes to an End"
Poems that journey through a tapestry of myths, archetypes and fables; of histories invented and revisited. Kate Cayley's is a mind both studious and curious, deeply attuned to the question "what if?" What if Nick Drake and Emily Dickinson met in the afterlife? What if a respected physician suddenly shrank to the size of a pea? What if the blind twins in a Victorian photograph could speak to us? What if we found another Earth orbiting another sun? Cayley draws on her experience as a playwright to create vividly engaging voices and characters ranging from the famous to the infamous to the all-but-anonymous. With exquisite pacing and striking imagery she draws us into the gaps in history, invites us to survey its wonders, both real and imaginary. "Be the horse. Be patient and simple, blindto anything beyond this moment, step outon trembling legs toward the lake, knowing thatthere is something behind this, somethingthat sustains, propels, repeats."(from "The White Horse Divers, Lake Ontario, 1908")
