Significant Other by Isabel Galleymore (English) Paperback Book

Description: Significant Other by Isabel Galleymore Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description The debut collection from the 2017 winner of an Eric Gregory Award. Publisher Description In her first book of poems, Isabel Galleymore takes a sustained look at the `eight million differently constructed hearts of species currently said to inhabit Earth. These are part of the significant other of her title; so too are the intimacies - loving, fraught, stalked by loss and extinction - that make up a life. The habit of foisting human agendas on non-human worlds is challenged. Must we still describe willows as weeping? In the twenty-first century, is it possible to be `at one with nature? The poems reflect on our desire to locate likeness, empathy and kinship with our environments, whilst embracing inevitable difference. As the narratives belonging to animal fables, Doomsday Preppers and climate change deniers are adapted, new metaphors are found that speak of both estrangement and entanglement. Drawing at times from her residency in the Amazon rainforest, Galleymore delves into a world of pink-toed tarantulas, the erotic lives of barnacles, and caged owls that behave like their keepers. The human world revises its own measure in the light of these poems. Author Biography Isabel Galleymore is a writer and lecturer at the University of Birmingham. Her pamphlet of poems, Dazzle Ship, was published in 2014. Her poems have featured in Poetry, Poetry Review, the London Review of Books and Carcanets recent anthology, New Poetries VII. In 2016, Isabel travelled to the Amazon rainforest to become apoet-in-residence at the Tambopata Research Centre. In 2017, Isabel received an Eric Gregory Award.
