Walking Out of the WorldMatthew Mead
Imprint: Anvil Press Poetry
Publisher: Carcanet Press Available as: Paperback (72 pages) (Pub. Dec 2003) 9780856463655 Out of Stock
In Walking Out of the World, triolets, quatrains and villanelles are interspersed with finely modulated free verse, culminating in the striking sequence ‘The Sentences of Death’. Mead’s curiously fascinating poems, with their beguiling echoes of the modern masters and their obsessive focus on uncomfortable truths, are mordantly witty as they confront life and death with eyes wide open. Mead is a poet who, once read, is not forgotten. |
