Inhaltsangabe

These twenty-five poems are perennials but may also serve as daily Advent readings from 1st December. They reflect on past times, on lives lived, on endings of years and of relationships; on beginnings, anxieties, hopes and an uncertain future - with a dash of humour thrown in. Reviewer comments: "A murder at Christmas"; the poet "a wandering Orlando figure [...] with a tsunamic sense of insecurity" (Yorkshire Times) This is Arts Council (UK) award-recipient Sue Vickerman's fifth poetry collection. Comments on previous collections: "salt-drenched - I loved it" Sandi Toksvig, "piercingly topical... A glorious achievement" the late Magnus Magnusson, "passionate, laconic poetry" UA Fanthorpe, "Excellent" Bloodaxe's Neil Astley.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Sue Vickerman has received three Arts Council (UK) awards for her poetry, novels and short stories. 'Passionate, laconic poetry' (UA Fanthorpe), 'salt-drenched - I loved it' (Sandi Toksvig), 'Excellent' (Bloodaxe's Neil Astley), 'piercingly topical - a glorious achievement' (Magnus Magnusson). Sue Vickerman's latest poetry collection ADVENTUS is 24 poems which, though perennials, may be read as daily pre-Christmas reflections from 1st December. Reviews - 'A murder at Christmas', and the poet 'a wandering Orlando figure with a tsunamic sense of insecurity' (Yorkshire Times). Sue Vickerman's first poetry collection SHAG was closely followed by THE SOCIAL DECLINE OF THE OYSTERCATCHER. Her novel SPECIAL NEEDS is a biting commentary on Englishness, snobbery, sex and identity. KUNST, a poetry collection illustrated with life-drawings, is published under the name of fictional character 'Suki', the failed poet and jobbing artist's model (ageing, single, desperate) created by Sue Vickerman and with whom Sue also has a joint collection, THIN BONES LIKE WISH-BONES. An international readership follows the 'Suki' character's online serialised life-story - a tale both funny and desolate. Read A SMALL LIFE, its sequel TWO SMALL LIVES, and the third volume TRUE LIFE NUDE at: sukithelifemodel.co.uk and watch Suki's movie shorts for free on Sue Vickerman's Amazon author-page. Home is wherever Sue Vickerman hangs her hat, but her native Yorkshire in England's rugged post-industrial north always draws her back.
