Dog Who Thinks He's a Fish
Low stock: 1 left
In rhythm and language, Chris Beckett is enthralled by D H Lawrence and by African praise poetry, that contrast of simple everyday words and phrases with a courteous sometimes ecstatic formality. And he is fascinated by the close but alien world of animals and fish.
A poet as fluid as Billy Collins, yet with his own tender, wise voice. Each poem creates its lucid, slightly off-beat world. Chris Becketts first collection is a rare delight. Moniza AlviThese exuberant poems move from the commonplace to the revelatory by sleight of hand. Theres a rightness of tone, a deftness and true authority. Reading The Dog Who Thinks Hes A Fish is like learning to fly its as easy as laughing. Chris Beckett is a natural. Pascale Petit
