Beschreibung

Christopher Cahill's debut collection is intensely seductive and inventively disquieting. An omnivore of poetry, Cahill's influences range from contemporary poetry, Irish poetry, Victorian poetry to Classical Latin. Described as the heir of James Schuyler and Phillip Larkin, Cahill's verse heightens and degrades at the same time; his tone is one of nostalgia and scorn. The Drug of Choice is a lush and lacerating debut collection of poetry.

Reseña del editor

"Christopher Cahill has reinvented the Roman erotic elegy for modern New York; lust, rage, and longing are given play in verse that ranges from the raw to the exquisitely formal."?Ed Conlon
