AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'A small circus arrives near Trieste - Strong Man, lion, ballerina - from these elements is constructed a contemporary idyll of troubled beauty and humour ...
'With a nod to Robbe-Grillet's Jealousy and The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, and yet another to A Bad Day for the Sung Dynasty, The Circus succeeds in being entirely original.
''The Circus is one of the most agreeable poetry books produced in years, and deserves, like the poet's oeuvre, serious scholarly attention' - Stephen Lawrence Overland Dec, 2010.
''The Circus is wonderful in its effortless rhythm, its relaxed observation, and its elegant witticism' - Transnational Literature May, 2011.'
