''Every poem in this book is a marvel. Taken all together they make up a work of almost miraculous depth and beauty'' Sally Rooney
''A poetry debut fit to compare with Seamus Heaney. This wonderful long poem is up there with the greats'' Sunday Times
When Stephen Sexton was young, video games were a way to slip through the looking glass; to be in two places at once; to be two people at once. In these poems about the death of his mother, this moving, otherworldly narrative takes us through the levels of Super Mario World, whose flowered landscapes bleed into our world, and ours, strange with loss, bleed into it. His remarkable debut is a daring exploration of memory, grief and the necessity of the unreal.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The exhilarating debut from award-winning poet Stephen SextonMemories of going 'through the looking-glass' into the land of video games are some of the most evocative of all childhood. In these poems we are rushed back to years spent playing Super Mario World, a place where people are small and flowers are large, a place of treacherous labyrinths and heart-stopping leaps of faith, where the materiality, wonder and peril of that world bleeds into our own as the young player bravely travels with his mother on the journey of her life-ending illness.Drawing on traditions of elegy and pastoral, this is a daring, moving and lyrically beautiful exploration of memory, grief and the unreal. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9780141990026
