Bøger af Claire Bateman

Locals is a narrative atlas of prose poems as intimate as they are unpredictable, each a keyhole glimpse into the life of a different realm where our normal logic doesn't apply. Are we beholding magic? No, but through observing these strangers, we're confronted by the extraordinary paradoxes within our own hearts.

A bracing new poetry collection from the author of Return to Sender and Friction."Just when I thought Claire Bateman had steered me past the last row in the poetry corn maze, pointed me to the last image in the metaphoric fun house mirror, had my imagination open the last nested Babushka doll of stanzaic surprise, I get this great new collection from her and I follow again into the Republic of Wildness where Claire is President for Life. I have loved her work for decades. It rattles all my certainties." --John Lane, author of Anthropocene Blues

Claire Bateman explores the odd too-muchness/not-enoughness of imaginative experience-is this the neighborhood we signed up for?
