Bøger af Judy Brown

Darkly suggestive of animal dens, shelter and secretive havens, Lairs is inspired by mathematics, the poem becoming a kind of nest, a beautiful accumulation of dense detail. The poems are complex, introspective, reminiscent of fervid lockdowns as well as offering a subtle strand on post-Brexit life, a mocking of establishment conservatism.

In her first collection of poetry, Judy Brown's straightforward manner and gift for ironic humor belie the artful complexities and the exacting observations evident in her work. This compilation is composed of edgy narratives featuring characters who will suffer for their modern sins as well as disquisitions on color, perception, ex-angels, spontaneous combustion, and other mysterious phenomena. These poems introduce an outstanding and original new voice in modern poetry, expressing a baroque quality with sudden modulations of tone and register and a keenly sensuous appreciation of the physical world.
