Stewart Michael - Couples - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: Bleak but wonderful familiar and of course funny. Alan Bennett Dark funny and twisted but surprisingly tender. A. L. Kennedy Couples is a blackly comic sequence of poems that explore the nature of co - dependency of two people who want to be together but at the same time cannot help but push each other away. The layout of the book is itself a commentary on the phenomenon the poems are placed in their own couples pairs that face each other across the page. Sometimes they exchange a glance sometimes they stand side - by - side staring out into the abyss; only when the book is closed and they are in darkness do they truly come together. Originally published on Valentine's Day 2013, the seven - year itch has brought Michael Stewart back to his old flame for a new edition in 2020; reworking the original poems and adding a dozen more. The result is an unnervingly perceptive volume to be shared with your other half at your own risk you may never look at a couple or each other the same way again.
