Bøger af Carol Rumens

Blind Spots is a masterclass of inventive, intelligent, original, and relevant modern poetry. It is divided into two parts: the first a series of ''muse'' poems that are inspired by works of art and poetry, and the second includes various themes and styles.

A wide ranging anthology of work by contemporary poets from different backgrounds, with accompanying prose commentaries, drawn from the Guardian 'Poem of the Week' blog.

Perhaps Bag is about what it feels like to think. Carol Rumens is a kind of old woman who lives in a shoe with too many children--that includes me, you, Russians, and Englishmen and women, and children, and animals. And somehow she knew what to do. "She is an English poet, a European poet, whose imagination goes beyond the borders of Europe. Her poetry is densely peopled, clamorous with voices, furious and with an edge of hilarious clarity . . . the bravado, the assurance of the beautiful but damned, philosophical, playful, with umpteen forms expertly managed." --Times Literary Supplement

Carol Rumens's Newcastle/Bloodaxe Poetry Lectures cover the poetry of Philip Larkin and Derek Mahon as well as form and music in the work of a range of contemporary women poets.
