Amanda Dalton: Fantastic Voyage, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

In this tender and wryly humorous poetry collection, a child travels down her own oesophagus, a woman joins a search party to look for herself, one grief-stricken soul descends into a watery underworld whilst another experiences love as demonic possession....
In Fantastic Voyage, Amanda Dalton takes us on journeys into our hidden and ghostly selves, our insides and our 'other', exploring the myriad ways in which the human body gives voice to unspeakable truths. These poems put us in and alongside bodies that are ill, out of control and inhabited - our dark innards as harbingers of secrets and fears, the gut as fortune-teller and home to ghosts.
Taking inspiration from sources as disparate as human anatomy and classic 1960s science fiction, this collection charts a deeply personal voyage through grief and loss.
