| Summary: | In Tristram Fane Saunders' first collection, readers encounter a poet whose ingenious forms dazzle, even while exploring darker themes. Drawing on delicious, unconventional rhymes and rhythms, Before We Go Any Further conjures a contemporary London as it maps the ways we try to communicate with each other across real and invented distances. Sphinxes and sea creatures, sleepwalkers and surrealists visit poems about art and friendship, poems that are 'trying to tilt toward love,' but 'can't help tugging/at the invisibly thin/line between true and honest.' They discover wry humor in that struggle. |
