Bøger af Michael Skau

This collection, by Michael Skau, is a series of poems reflecting specific attitudes toward poets and poetry (by extension, toward Art and Life), ranging from conventional adherence to structure, rhyme, meter, and theme to enthusiastic embrace of experimental techniques and topics. The poems embody different voices and approaches and vary in their form from traditional modes to rebellious non-conformity.

AFTER THE BOMB is a series of syllabic poems envisioning a post-apocalyptic world where the survivors struggle for a meager existence and for moral and ethical sanity in a necessarily brutal, violent, and inhospitable environment. The narrator and his fellow sufferers gradually develop a vulnerable sense of community and tentatively grow toward a qualified humanism, with which they cannot always feel comfortable.
