Bøker av Angela Ball

Talking Pillow celebrates love as amazement, sustenance, and the progenitor of scarce-believable loss. Imagining themselves into multiple times, places, and lives, the poems comically explore the possibilities of attachment between people and the absurdity of death's sudden intrusion.

Winner of the 2006 Donald Hall Prize in Poetry.Angela Ball's lyrical, wry, and rueful poems float on a river of incongruities on which we may find Ron Popeil, Lord Byron, and Rudyard Kipling sharing the same raft; they create a fascinating commerce between the sublime and the ridiculous.
