Midnight in the City of Clocks: Salt Modern Poets

Autor Tobias Hill
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 mai 2013
This lively second collection from a young, much-travelled writer falls into two parts. 'Transit' includes poems of travel and transport, especially Japan, where Tobias Hill lived for two years. 'Back to the City' is about London, from hangover to Underground; Hiroshima; and the 'City of Clocks', a fusion of cities and ages. They are poems crammed with a young man's curiosity and eye for detail, and show his great ability for storytelling.

Recenzii

He has developed an austerely sensual technique … As a first collection, this is talented and interesting. Times Literary Supplement An impressively controlled first collection … As Hill develops less distanced sensibility to go with his undoubted technique, he could prove to be very interesting. -- Robert Potts The Guardian
