Shazea Quraishi se destaca en la poesía británica contemporánea con sus tonos sensuales, claros y de precisa medida. Sus poemas confrontan la mirada masculina con una voz distintivamente femenina, explorando temas de género y expectativas. Inspirándose en figuras y narrativas históricas, les infunde vida con una mezcla única de perspicacia arqueológica y belleza lírica. Su poesía representa una cautivadora colisión entre el pasado y el presente, articulada a través de una voz singular y potente.
The Glimmer is a meditation on the time-span of life illuminated by many voices. In Mexico a taxidermist tends animals in their afterlife and contemplates what remains of us after death. She is joined by a painter of miniatures, a war photographer, a filmmaker, a light artist, a novelist, a ghazal singer, and dancers from Tanzteater Wuppertal.
Sublime brand new and long awaited poetry from this elegant and meticulous poet. Her words contain such beauty, such poise, such a grasp for atmosphere. What has the body of a white mouse - held carefully, lovingly to show us? What is art? And how can we live with death? We are thrilled that she has chosen us to help launch her first new set of poems since 2015. We have gasped, we have hung on every word, on every turn of phrase. We cant wait for you to see them!
