Bøger af Priscila Uppal

Final collection by one of Canada's leading younger poets, the first after her UK selection Successful Tragedies: Poems 1998-2010 from Bloodaxe. 'Canada's coolest poet' - Time Out (London).

Playful, satirical, surreal, yet unflinchingly humane, these poems introduce men with wands to patrol their neighborhoods, past selves smuggling themselves aboard airplanes, and unhappy people trying their luck on a psychological wheel of blame.

Canada's Priscila Uppal (1974-2018) gained an international reputation for her boldly provocative poetry in just a dozen years, following the publication of her first collection, How to Draw Blood from a Stone, at the age of 23. Successful Tragedies includes work from six books published in Canada.
