Sobre este título

Read by the author, Jake Hawkey.

In But & Though, Jake Hawkey scrutinizes the impact of parental addiction on families, its title a nod to the language of dependency, its circles of prevarication and excuse.

Hawkey’s poems chart the loss of a father and the resilient love between siblings, and take an unflinching look at a parent–child relationship sometimes painfully inverted through alcoholism.

Hawkey’s fresh perspective and playful style introduces a vital, authentic new voice in British poetry. It will appeal also to those interested in the wider literature of addiction and the complexities of urban working-class life in Britain. Hawkey approaches these subjects from highly original and personal angles, breathing life into his characters and settings. Ultimately, we come to know a young writer attempting to ‘detach with love’ as he strides forward into his own life.

Resumo da Crítica

<b>&#39;Hawkey&#39;s poems are electric, buzzing with all the possibilities of language. He has much to say, and is saying it brilliantly&#39; &ndash; </b> (Nick Laird, winner of the Forward Prize for Poetry and author of Up Late)
Here is a <b>wonderful new voice</b>, <b>full of a spiky energy accompanied by a wild imagination</b>. His language <b>bristles with a sense of its own freshness</b>. His working-class world is alive and quivering. A brilliant collection (Jay Parini, author of Borges and Me)
A requiem to fathers, to the streets, to the estates; at times a smash in the face with a skateboard, laughing and &lsquo;chattin breeze&rsquo;. Hawkey unravels the raw truth behind grief, alcohol dependency, and family traumas, ultimately finding &lsquo;God dwells in every man&rsquo; (Roy McFarlane, author of The Healing Next Time)
<b>Hawkey writes with serious ambition</b>: these poems are <b>daring in their formal organisation and their political intellect</b>. There is also <b>a real humour here, an ironic, knowing sensibility that never gets in the way of the poems&#39; emotional contents</b>. <b>Hawkey tackles difficult subjects </b>- alcohol dependency, deprivation, and intergenerational trauma - with <b>admirable lucidity</b>, attuned to both their <b>tragedy and comedy</b> (Padraig Regan, author of the Forward Prize-shortlisted Some Integrity)
&#39;<b>Brilliant </b>. . .<b> Hawkey never fails to surprise and stun the reader</b> with his evocation of a childhood and youth spent in the long shadow of addiction. But even more than all of this, the poet takes us beyond the usual contemporary dimensions of poetry and &ndash; <b>lyrically</b> and with <b>fierce beauty</b> &ndash; addresses the great questions of how we can break best, what makes life cohere, and what it is all about. This collection moved me to tears. It is not only <b>daring</b> and <b>accomplished</b>, it is <b>real </b>and written by a young man who has been on a long dark journey and found himself with light in his writing hand (Sally Read, editor of 100 Great Catholic Poems )
Hawkey has written a book about working class life that is worthy of any collection in a poet&rsquo;s oeuvre
