Product Description
John Doyle writes prickly poems, nostalgic poems, poems that butt against the reader’s face, and poems that snuggle under the chin of everyone in the pub. Which does not mean Nova Lumina contains something for everyone, but it does contain plenty for anyone with a shred of aesthetic awareness.
In his own words, author John Doyle is ‘half a decent person’. In my words, he’s a full-blown poet of extraordinary talent. If the best art is created by mixing together both high and low brow references, then Doyle is truly a great artist. Classical references clash up against cultural ones, making for a relentless, dizzying torrent of imagery that leaves the reader gasping for breath and wanting more. He wields his words like a vigilante wields a baseball bat – with savage intent, hellbent on destruction. These are poems that can break limbs. A white-knuckle ride you’ll be thankful you queued for, on your knees and begging for more. There are not many great poets left, but Doyle is a true contender for the throne. No more half measures; these are poems you need in your life
