This is another sensational collection from Luke Kennard packed with humour and his heady mix of crazy animistic narrators and surreal mise-en-scène. Taking off from his much celebrated second collection, The Harbour Beyond the Movie which was shortlisted for the 2007 Forward Prize for Poetry.
A combination of verse and prose poetry, ‘The Migraine Hotel’ is Luke Kennard’s third collection and very much a sequel to ‘The Harbour Beyond the Movie’. The voices continue to explore the territory opened up by Harbour, at once satiric, stricken, sincere and bitingly sarcastic, combined with a kaleidoscopic range of ways of engaging with a poem as a reader. The prose poems are prose poems in the tradition of Baudelaire, which is to say they read more like grouchy comic monologues with unreliable narrators than prose-verse characterised by excessive lyricism.
Get Migraine Hotel by Luke Kennard at the best price and quality guaranteed only at Werezi Africa's largest book ecommerce store. The book was published by Salt Publishing and it has 96 pages.
