Shazea Quraishi si afferma nella poesia britannica contemporanea con i suoi toni sensuali, chiari e di precisa misura. Le sue poesie affrontano lo sguardo maschile con una voce distintamente femminile, esplorando temi di genere e aspettative. Attingendo ispirazione da figure e narrazioni storiche, infonde loro vita con una miscela unica di intuizione archeologica e bellezza lirica. La sua poesia rappresenta una avvincente collisione tra passato e presente, articolata attraverso una voce singolare e potente.
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!
