Marsh Fear / Fen Tiger

Synopsis

‘Retro modernist meets postmodern lyricist. They shred the university library listening to city music. Encounters with dream language redesign a landscape, part fen, part bedroom. Poetry that seeks to hold without owning rivers and words irrevocably polluted.’

Reviews of this Book

‘Levy’s first collection heralds an exciting new voice – a carnal intelligence which plunders Western literary traditions and destabilises them with anarchic playfulness. Delirium reveals a world of metaphysical wit, fairytales, histories and a vivid, tactile present. Here are ambiguous masks of gender revealed in a poetry of raw passion.’
