The Barking Thing
Author :Suzanne Batty
Condition : Used-LikeNew
Binding : Soft-Back-Noval
Pages : 64
Publisher : Bloodaxe Books
Language : N/A
Publication Year : N/A
Suzanne Batty writes bold, flamboyant, risky poems which come from left field and Manchester, mixing dogs and people, mean streets and threats from inside. In her first book-length collection, "The Barking Thing", the real and unreal are deliberately confused. The book creates a fantastical landscape in which actual experience can be transformed through archetypes and fairytales, urban myths and nightmares. The poems chart a journey from mental anguish to spiritual joy - and back again. The writing balances on a sharp edge between sanity and madness, between meaning and insignificance, with a dark humour and a tight grip on life. And through it all there is the wisdom of dog - a spiritual mentor who cocks a leg at doubt and despair.
