Description
Eric Gregory Award WinnerThe poems in Antler stalk their quarry over difficult ground.
Prehistoric landscapes blend with genuine and imaginary anthropology; the real world becomes distorted through the dark mirrors of folktale and myth; fraudsters, liars, and con-men lurk perpetually in the shadows.
This panorama is emotional, too, most vividly in the collection's centrepiece: the sequence 'Vaisala and Sinuhe', charting an astronomy professor's infatuation with one of his postgraduate students, who may or may not be a werewolf.
Pared-down, playful and often very funny, Clegg's poetry keeps faith with what is tactile and tangible (moss, leather, bone), distilling plainspoken diction, luminous imagery and a unique worldview into lines which remain in the head for a long while after the book has been closed.
