| Description: |
The Method Men is the first collection by Eric Gregory Award winner, David Briggs. Briggs is widely published in magazines and anthologies, including Poetry Review and Identity Parade. Lyrical, ludic and literary, these poems explore the 'style our lives bring with them' - what we are, and how that came to be. |
| Synopsis: |
The Method Men is the much anticipated first collection by Eric Gregory Award winner, David Briggs: a taut, deft and elegant book, featuring poems previously published in magazines such as Magma, Poetry Review, Iota and Poetry Wales, and in small groups of three or four in significant anthologies, including Identity Parade: New British and Irish Poets (Bloodaxe, 2010). Briggs's work doffs its cap to a wide range of influences, from the Graveyard School to Miroslav Holub, from John Ash to Ted Hughes, from Marianne Moore to Charles Boyle; yet, retains its own distinctive sensibility - a concern with the idiosyncratic strategies we employ in attempting to navigate an ineffable and dangerous, yet quotidian, world. Pylons, the blank pages at the end of a book, an album by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, bathrooms, public parks, clowns and teacups are all lit at the edges with a gunsmoke-blue glow by a transform imagination. The Method Men explores, in a sometimes disarmingly personal way, what Larkin referred to as 'a style our lives bring with them' - what we are, and how that came to be. |
