Coalescence

Om Coalescence

A collection of more than 160 of Tim King's poems, song lyrics, rants and rhymes written over a period of half a century. The selected works reflect those preoccupations that have both endured and developed throughout the author's adult life, coalescing into a compelling portrait of one human being's unique take on the World. Described by one reviewer as, "the perfect poetry pick-me-up that every writer longs for" (Clare Morris Ph.D.) and by another as, "a spirit of love coupled with searing wit" (Prof. Nigel Smith, Princeton), Coalescence mixes conventional structures and unbound creativity in ways that challenge preconceptions at every turn. Prof. Smith continues, "Readers will delight at the sharp turns of sense and poetic form as the verse tears up the shallow surface veneer of everyday life." For all its apparent appeal to the academic elite, this volume is resolutely accessible and down to Earth. Unflinching pieces tackle a broad range of subjects including child abuse, climate change, fairy stories, social justice, war, corruption and death. Ultimately intended as a source of connection, amusement and solace, it is the author's proudest boast that Matt Harvey (poet and broadcaster) has seen fit to award this collection "a high Tog rating."
