Beschreibung

Harry Graham's 'Misrepresentative Women' is a deft amalgam of wit and rhythmic prowess, presenting a collection of poems that masterfully leverage humor to explore societal views on femininity. Embracing a consistent poetic meter, Graham crafts verses that are both accessible and intellectually rigorous, contributing to the tradition of humorous verse with a sharp and modern sensibility. His work resonates with echoes of the established canon—the punctuated brevity reminiscent of Kipling, the narrative complexity akin to Chaucer, the lyricism of Byron, and the intricate obscurity that Browning evokes—while maintaining an original voice that dialogues with the past, bringing a fresh perspective on both form and content.

Harry Graham, known for his literary acumen and astute social observations, channels his experiences and perspectives into 'Misrepresentative Women'. His literary background coalesces with a keen sense of the absurd, fostering an environment ripe for the creation of these finely tuned poetic satires. The interplay of a classic format with contemporary sensibility is reflective of Graham's broader work, which often satirizes societal norms through a lens that is both critically aware and delightfully engaging.

This collection is highly recommended for readers who savor the melding of traditional poetic structure with the unbridled joy of satire. 'Misrepresentative Women' speaks to connoisseurs of poetry and newcomers alike, delivering its insights with a polished civility and a twinkling eye. The poignancy of Graham's wordplay and the refined humor that permeates the text make this work an enjoyable and thought-provoking read for anyone intrigued by the artful critique of cultural archetypes.

    Winner of the 2024 New Poets Prize, judged by Holly Hopkins.
    A gold bangle, a barber's shop and Diana Princess of Wales in an Indian wedding video. In Lobe, Cia Mangat navigates what we inherit and what we leave behind in a book which plays with private and public mythologies. These poems create a world of love and surveillance, where Diana's revenge dress prepares for the paparazzi and aunties gossip in the threading parlor. Bodies are pierced and cut from magazines while the wedding halls beckon. Lobe is a book of resistance and reimagining, where Di escapes her buttercream wedding, a woman shaves her head and 'george michael will sing every song you have ever wanted to you /directly accompanied by hundreds of thousands of people you love'.

    Edward Estlin Cummings (October 14, 1894 - September 3, 1962), commonly known as e e cummings, was an American poet, painter, essayist, author, and playwright. During World War I, he worked as an ambulance driver and was imprisoned in an internment camp, which provided the basis for his 1922 novel The Enormous Room. The following year he published his first collection of poetry. Cummings wrote approximately 2,900 poems and is often regarded as one of the most important American poets of the 20th century. He is associated with modernist free-form poetry, and much of his work uses idiosyncratic syntax and lower-case spellings for poetic expression. In the following recordings, Cummings reads his poems "somewhere i have never travelled,gladly beyond" (1931), "next to of course god america i" (1926), "anyone lived in a pretty how town" (1940), "Buffalo Bill's (1920), "in Just–" (1920), i carry your heart with me(i carry it in)" (1952). The final audio clip is from a 1955 Cummings speech, "A Poet's Advice to Students."
