The Glimmer is a meditation on the time-span of life illuminated by many voices. In Mexico a taxidermist tends animals in their afterlife and contemplates what remains of us after death. She is joined by a painter of miniatures, a war photographer, a filmmaker, a light artist, a novelist, a ghazal singer, and dancers from Tanzteater Wuppertal.
The Glimmer is a meditation on the time-span of life illuminated by many voices. In an artists’ colony in Mexico, a taxidermist tends animals in their after-life, contemplating what remains of us after death. Among the artists she encounters are a painter of miniatures, a war photographer, a light artist, a ghazal singer, and dancers from Tanzteater Wuppertal, as they reflect on the impulse to make work and meaning in a world where value is increasingly monetised. Within the extended narrative are self-contained poems ranging in form from syllabics and ghazals to OULIPO-inspired anagram poems, drawing on found text and verbatim speech to bring a choir of voices to life. The title work is followed by two elegies. The Glimmer is Shazea Quraishi’s second full-length book of poetry, following her debut, The Art of Scratching.
