Produktbeskrivning
Julia Copus''s poems bring humanity and light to some of our most intimate and solitary moments, repeatedly breathing life into loss. In two previous collections, she has been feted as among the most compelling poets to have emerged in recent years; now, in The World''s Two Smallest Humans, she is writing at her most captivating yet.
These finely tuned poems are the fruit of her upbringing in a musical family, an affinity with the Classics, a fascination with the arc of time, and an unflinching scrutiny of love and personal relationships. Born out of a powerful sense of place, the poems navigate through a beguiling sequence of interior and exterior landscapes, whether revisiting Ovid, negotiating the perils of one composer''s attempt to step into the shoes of another or describing, from shifting perspectives, a young girl''s escape from suburban ennui.
The book concludes with a moving arrangement of pieces that explore the author''s experience of IVF: poems written with wry humour and with grace, which celebrate the mysteries of conception alongside the sometimes surreal business of medical intervention. The World''s Two Smallest Humans is an unforgettable read.
