Travellers Pamphlet
by MICHELENE WANDOR
Pamphlet
Description
Michelene Wandor's new poetry collection travels in many directions.
There is geography: Italy, Palestine, Ethiopia, Mesopotamia, France, Egypt, the Lebanon, and, of course, the UK.
Embarked personnel include Gertrude Bell, T.E. Lawrence, Marlon Brando, Isabella d'Este and Lucrezia Borgia, Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, George Bernard Shaw and the Gonzagas.
Thematically, the poems alight at Greek mythology, gender, the evergreens of love, anguish, power and tragedy.
The first and final touchpoints lie in the language itself, which is both guide and sustenance.
Lyrical and narrative, startlingly evocative, elisions and connections, thrilling, satisfying and demanding, the words and poetic shapes travel down and across pages and spaces.
The travel metaphor is only a beginning. Original and exciting, this collection resonates in mind and memory.
