Bøker av Oni Buchanan

As time beings, what we have is the time being, the present moment, however compromised, however shattered. Buchanan's characteristic combination of wry humour, nerve, empathy, wisdom, and outrage exposes the laughably absurd and the evisceratingly tragic all at once.

This world is filled with uncontainable data, a rush of experiences tumbling one after the other, experiences whose logic is only that they have happened, or haven't - or worst of all, cannot be determined.

In Must a Violence, the tones and personalities vary widely but trust is always placed in the five senses. These poems gather and relay extraordinary sense data, from inaudible sounds to long-absent smells. These deeply musical poems demand the reader attend to their sounds: to the waveforms, repetitions, durations, and delicate interrelationships of words.

A fierce collection of innovative, emotive poetry
