Description: Arbitrary Lightbulb, Paperback by Duhig, Ian, ISBN 1035033208, ISBN-13 9781035033201, Brand New, Free shipping in the US A Poetry Book Society Choice An Arbitrary Light Bulb is Ian Duhig’s most personal collection of poems to date. It takes its title from the most common type of household bulb – yet one whose name is virtually unknown, like many people these poems celebrate. Duhig finds in the arbitrary an image for the randomness of inspiration and of life, haunted here by deaths of family and friends. He laments the lost but also responds to the glories of our existence, especially among the overlooked, with humour, technical variety and contagious pleasure. Starting out from 'contrary Leeds’, his home for half a century, Duhig’s poems roam widely through history, art-forms, loves and injustices, fired by the desire to share it all with his readers: knowledge, joy, anger and wonder. 'The most original poet of his generation' Carol Ann Duffy, Guardian
