Sinopsis

Matthew Sweeney wrote this set of 50 prose poems in response to Baudelaire’s posthumously published collection of prose poems (or petits poèmes en prose, as he called them). Modelling his pieces as closely as possible on Baudelaire’s, Sweeney has produced an evocative autobiographical snapshot of his life in Paris.

Sanctuary

Matthew Sweeney

In this Matthew Sweeney’s eighth full-length collection the disarming fabulist and mythmaker steps out on his own into fresh territory. These are poems from a mapless journey through the backwaters of Europe and the New World - imbued as always with the strange unerring logic of dream but carrying now a new fugitive lyrical note.
