Description

"In Before We Go Any Further", Tristram Fane Saunders' first book, readers are introduced to a gifted new writer, a poet whose ingenious forms dazzle even as the poems' darker themes resonate. Drawing on a delicious, unconventional sense of rhyme and rhythm, the poems conjure a recognizably contemporary London as they map the ways we try to communicate with each other across real and imagined distances.Sphinxes and sea-creatures, sleepwalkers and surrealists drift in and out of poems about art and friendship, poems which are "trying to tilt toward love", yet "can't help tugging / at the invisibly thin / line between true and honest", and discovering a wry humour in that struggle. And this extraordinary debut repeatedly finds resource and solace in a poem's ability to hear and set down the right word or phrase.
