Lobsters by Wayne Holloway-Smith
In Lobsters, Wayne Holloway-Smiths unique voice undoes and remakes a self, moving into and out of tender proximity to other humans and objects of desire. Somewhere, in between the expansive and claustrophobic, the reader is offered a new space, crammed full with the music of what life gives and withholds.
'Lobsters seems both to capture, and be caught up in, the peculiarly powerful and reckless energy of deep hungerThis poem is freewheeling and intoxicating--Katharine Kilalea; 'Lobsters is a soft-cracked, gut-level improvisation, overflowing with feeling but marked by refusal: anger or grief will not be made easily consumable. Instead, if you want to access the full harmonic depth of this poem, you will have to take part in the performance yourself, to become vulnerable to it, to risk being eaten.'--Will Harris
