bloodthirsty for marriage by Susannah Dickey
There is an arresting and profound specificity to Susannah Dickey's astute tragicomedy, in which the sky is 'the colour of a cous cous salad', gods rub shoulders with video game characters and everyone is enslaved to desire. Corrupting the classically male, reportedly frivolous hendecasyllabic form, Dickey forges a register that feels both ancient and millennial. At the centre of this work beats a star-bright pain, seen through the poems' breezy vacillations and squandered love, crushed to a shimmer.
Dickey, Susannah: - Susannah Dickey is the author of two previous pamphlets, I had some very slight concerns, and genuine human values, both published by The Lifeboat. Her first novel, Tennis Lessons, will be published in July 2020 by Doubleday.
