Viac o knihe
The Animal Library marks the debut of a remarkable poet, a poet of the flesh, his own and that of the animals he has lived with all his life, whether real or imaginary. Jason Camlotis father was a furrier and he grew up in a world where, inevitably, baby fur gets in your eyes or in your mouth. In dreams, the poet becomes a whale corpse washed up/ on a very pale beach/ and hundreds of flies came, / and people, / to see the tusk, / spun like coral glass. And as the boy grows up, images, at once curiously literal and yet surreal o images of being devoured or skinned alive o stay with him. The beauty of this collection is one of the mot juste, a concreteness and precision, coupled with a superb sense of rhythm.
