A description of our secondhand books is not always available. Please contact us if you have a question about this title.Author: David McCooeyFormat: Paperback Number of Pages: 115'In the beautifully calibrated "cardiac ward poetics" of Star Struck, David McCooey re-energises the old binaries of life and death, public and private, culture and nature. Irony's the pacemaker here, driving these superbly restrained poems home, though never at the expense of feeling and tenderness. McCooey understands, unsentimentally, that we are all trapped together on the "ward".' - A.Frances Johnson 'I would rather read his poetry than that of anyone else of his generation' - Craig Sherborne With poems ranging from the confessional to the mock-autobiographical, from imagism to a strange storytelling, from the comic and satirical to the plangent and disturbing, Star Struck startles us with the many faces of lyric poetry. This book of poems by the award-winning poet David McCooey is made up of four sections. The first documents an alienating encounter with a life-threatening illness. The second plays out an unforgettable obsession with darkness and light. The third brings together popular music and the ancient literary mode of the pastoral. In this highly original sequence we find, among other things, Bob Dylan singing Virgil, Joni Mitchell reflecting on life in Laurel Canyon, a lab monkey pondering the sound of music, and a bitter, surreal rewriting of 'Down Under' for our times. In the final section, narrative poetry is cast in an intensely new and uncanny light. Paperback.
