Bøker av Martha Kapos

Martha Kapos imagines sonata form as a narrative structure in this remarkable, and psychologically acute, showcase for poems written over nearly 30 years. With an afterword by Lawrence Kramer: Sonata, What Do You Want of Me?

These new poems by Martha Kapos constitute an attempt to retrieve someone whose loss has been experienced through illness and finally death. Often the viewpoints are visual ones; in every case metaphor is the guiding principal in The Likeness, which addresses how a figure is brought back to life through a process whose essence is poetic.

Captures a range of perceptions and emotion. This title is both a huge hymn of praise for 'life', for ordinary experiencing, and at the same time faces movingly and directly the incomprehensibility of loss - the loss of someone else, deeply known and loved.
