The poems in Miriam Gamble’s third collection journey through scenes and landscapes at once of the world and of the mind. By turns uncanny, dark, poignant and uproarious, What Planet sets individuality of perception and inventiveness of memory against fixed certainties, probing chaos in a post-truth world. Winner of the 2020 Pigott Poetry Prize
The poems in Miriam Gamble’s third collection journey surreally through scenes and landscapes at once of the world and of the mind, finding little, as they go, that 'can be claimed self-evident'. By turns uncanny, dark, poignant and uproarious, What Planet sets the individuality of perception and the inventiveness of memory against fixed certainties, probing chaos and madness in a post-truth world. Rhythmically propulsive and dizzyingly inter-connective, Gamble’s new work is as formally adventurous as it is conceptually distinctive, stretching syntax, jumbling the solid and spectral, crossing borders of time and space. Yet this is also a collection pained by loss, and passionate to connect with a life’s 'vacated' corners – even if the act of remembering is as much creation as recovery. Winner of the 2020 Pigott Poetry Prize.
