Item description from seller
Paperback. Patrick Davidson Roberts' Divided Tongues is a structurally expansive and thematically intricate collection that navigates national identity, violence, myth, and displacement with tonal precision and rhetorical urgency. Drawing on scriptural echoes, historical figures, and contemporary disaffection, the poems assemble a polyphonic lyric that shifts between reportage, lament, and surreal invocation. With recurring motifs of exile, fractured lineage, and cultural inheritance, Roberts interrogates the weight of language as both burden and possibility. The result is a layered poetic landscape where borders, geographic, linguistic, emotional, are repeatedly crossed and contested. Patrick Davidson Roberts' Divided Tongues is a structurally expansive and thematically intricate collection that navigates national identity, violence, myth, and displacement with tonal precision and rhetorical urgency.
