Items related to A Bright Acoustic
In these restlessly exploratory poems and sequences, the space between things is never empty, but alive with messages. Utterly physical even when it is at its most enquiring, Philip Gross s latest collection contemplates space and sound. Even silence reveals itself as multiple and individual. With each book in his ambitious series since The Water Table, winner of the T.S. Eliot Prize, Gross has taken a new step in mapping where we live, in between language and the world. A Bright Acoustic looks at and way beyond the human, to a generously environmental view of the self in its relationships, at the same time playful and profound.
Philip Gross won a Cholmondeley Award in 2017. Judge Mimi Khalvati says of his work: In exploring his fascination in language and wordlessness, he constantly delights us with his acute acts of seeing and his boundless verbal imagination.

Review:
A singularly attentive book. Blurring the boundary between sound and image until the two become entwined in an advanced synesthesia, wherein senses express through and even blend into each other. -- World Literature Today "World Literature Today"
