A Year in the New Life by Jack Underwood (English) Paperback Book

Description: A Year in the New Life by Jack Underwood This new book of poems finds fresh ways of navigating a time of continual surprise and uncertainty. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Jack Underwoods debut collection, Happiness (2015), was celebrated for its unconventional and daring tone: conversational, arresting . . . weird, singular (Guardian). Such qualities are on accomplished display in this anticipated new collection, as the poems mature and move on to a wide range of preoccupations, including imminent societal collapse and current riots; the limits of masculinity and complexities of fatherhood; as well as uncanny, often amusing scenarios, such as serving drinks to a gathering of fifteen babies or group kissing in Empathy Class.Throughout, incongruous and domestic subjects re-align in skewed lyrics and thought experiments, all presented with a generosity and tenderness that makes the poet so unmistakable - and indispensable for the strange times in which we live. Author Biography Jack Underwoods debut collection of poems, Happiness (Faber, 2015), won the Somerset Maugham Award. He is a senior lecturer in English and Creative Writing at Goldsmiths College, University of London. His non-fiction book Not Even This, about parenthood, uncertainty, and poetic language and knowledge, will be published by Corsair in 2021. Review "Jack Underwoods poems are exceptional in how they surrender to their own music, each one a kind of expertly controlled free-fall. In this tough and tender time, we need these poems of tenderness, of toughness, and of time." -- Natalie Shapero"The glorious abundance of Jacks wayward absurdism and imagism creates intellectual plot-points felt like dreams, a way to think about logic in a different way, a way to think about things and people and life in a different way, which is the intention of poetry." -- Rachael Allen"Jack Underwood demonstrates in A Year in the New Life that hes one of the most innovative imagists and thinkers writing in the English language." -- Anthony Anaxagorou Promotional This new book of poems finds fresh, spirited ways of navigating a time of continual surprise and uncertainty.
