En savoir plus sur le livre
Following Viktor Shklovsky's instruction to make everyday objects seem unfamiliar, Richard Skinner's fourth collection sets out to release 'the potential of inanimate objects'. A marbled egg, white balloons, unopened boxes, a Greek island, numbers, a yellow yo-yo - nothing in this book is quite what it seems. Unsettling, precise and enigmatic, Invisible Sun confirms Skinner's reputation as a poet of playful misplacement and misdirection. It is a book about windows, light, clouds, the 'upside down world' glimpsed through shadows and mists, and always the invisible sun - bright source of all life but also our daily measure of time and loss - illuminating 'the distant glitter of other people's lives'.
