Shazea Quraishi s'impose dans la poésie britannique contemporaine par ses tons sensuels, clairs et d'une mesure précise. Ses poèmes confrontent le regard masculin avec une voix résolument féminine, explorant les thèmes du genre et des attentes. S'inspirant de figures et de récits historiques, elle leur insuffle vie avec un mélange unique d'intuition archéologique et de beauté lyrique. Sa poésie représente une collision captivante entre passé et présent, articulée à travers une voix singulière et puissante.
The Glimmer is a meditation on the time-span of life illuminated by many voices. In Mexico a taxidermist tends animals in their afterlife and contemplates what remains of us after death. She is joined by a painter of miniatures, a war photographer, a filmmaker, a light artist, a novelist, a ghazal singer, and dancers from Tanzteater Wuppertal.
Sublime brand new and long awaited poetry from this elegant and meticulous poet. Her words contain such beauty, such poise, such a grasp for atmosphere. What has the body of a white mouse - held carefully, lovingly to show us? What is art? And how can we live with death? We are thrilled that she has chosen us to help launch her first new set of poems since 2015. We have gasped, we have hung on every word, on every turn of phrase. We cant wait for you to see them!
