A Slow Blues HB
Author: David Cooke
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 132633851X
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
A Slow Blues contains work from David Cooke's three previous collections alongside A Virtual Tour, a sequence of more recent poems. Here is the assessment of William Bedford in Agenda: 'The ghosts of a West of Ireland family haunt these poems, but Cooke is not treading ground already made familiar by others. Growing up in England, he is a poet whose 'making strange' grows naturally out of his exile between two countries. After a long silence, David Cooke has burst back into life, in a welcome and gifted performance.'
