Description

Pushing the language of Shakespeare and Geoffrey Hill into the necessary future, Martin Corless-Smith writes the kind of poem that invites a reader to rejoice in the sound of words and to meditate on those words' connection to the history of language. As an alien in several senses of the word, the mind behind these poems looks at the world from a dizzying but also dazzling perspective. Populated by snakes, birds, vines, insects, and mysterious lovers, Of Piscator is a dreamscape of natural and manmade jungles.
