Ragged disclosures

by Paul Hetherington

Paperback, 2022

Description

Ragged Disclosures is a prose poetry collection that investigates liminality, intersubjectivity and the prose poetic sequence. These sequences combine to create a complex and distributed depiction of an intimate relationship during the COVID-19 pandemic in this era of climate change and political instability. As the volume considers the protagonists' diverse experiences, it explores the development of connected poetic tropes while highlighting tensions between prose poetry's compression and the countervailing tendency for sequential works to present an unfolding narrative arc. The inherent raggedness of the narrative gestures, combined with prose poetry's condensed and suggestive boxes, is playful, contemporary and quintessentially poetic.
