Corbenic
£5.39
Cal has struggled to cope with his mother's drinking & her psychotic episodes since he was six; cooped up in their dirty council flat he dreams of a new life. So when he leaves to live with his uncle Trevor in Chepstow he is ruthless about breaking with the past, despite his mother's despair. But getting off the train at the wrong station he finds himself at the castle of the Fisher King, & from then on moves in a nightmare spiral of predetermined descent into a wasteland of desolation & adventure, always seeking the way back to the Grail he has betrayed. Catherine Fisher has created a gripping & highly moving novel that moves between myth & a contemporary journey of self-knowledge until one becomes indistinguishable from the other.

An important new work from the author of the Book of the Crow ...

Product Description

Corpus
- Michael Symmons Roberts' Whitbread-Prize winning fourth collection
- centres around the body. Mystical, philosophical & erotic, the bodies in these poems move between different worlds
- life & after-life, death & resurrection
- encountering pathologists' blades, geneticists' maps & the wounds of love & war.

Equally at ease with scripture (Jacob wrestling the Angel in ' Choreography') & science (' Mapping the Genome'), these poems are a thrilling blend of modern & ancient wisdom, a profound & lyrical exploration of the mysteries of the body:' So the martyrs took the lamb./ It tasted rich, steeped in essence/ Of anchovy. They picked it clean/ & found within, a goose, its pink/ Beak in the lamb's mouth like a tongue.' Ranging effortlessly between the physical extremes of death
- from putrefaction to purification
- & life
- drought & flood, hunger & satiation
- the poems in Corpus speak most movingly of 'living the half-life between two elements', of what it is to be unique & luminously alive.
