Cyclone

الوصف

Review 'Cyclone takes the strengths of Robert Peake s previous work - candour, intensity, a hard-won wit - and enters the storm, in search of an answer to the question raised by his heartbreaking 'Why I Should Be Over It By Now'. Built around four remarkable sequences, this new collection takes him into the most difficult of territories - grief and parental loss - to recover the possibility, however fugitive, of healing. The 'Cyclone' here is both personal and political. In such turbulent and shrill times, this is his most powerful work to date.' - Michael Symmons Roberts --http://ninearchespress.com/publications/poetry-collections/cyclone.html'Homesickness, belonging, and travelling without arriving are just some of the terrain covered in Peake's Cyclone, but it s the vitality and emotional courage in the language of these poems that one is most struck by language stepping in and out of the shadows and yearning 'in the silt-choked afterlife of someone s grief.' A beautiful book that deserves to be lingered over and read widely.' - Mona Arshi --http://ninearchespress.com/publications/poetry-collections/cyclone.html About the Author Robert Peake is an American-born poet living near London.
