Description



Book Synopsis



Beginning to End is a book of mourning and renewal by UK poet and critic Luke Roberts.

In this series of elegiac and enigmatic lyrics, Luke Roberts follows the non-linear work of mourning, the changed dimensions of self and world altered when faced with loss. Remembered landscapes blur through car windows while images flicker in our peripheral vision and disappear. Broken apart and pieced back together, these forty poems--including longer exploratory forms--are built from the remains of grief's language, checking to see what works in the aftermath. "I was engaged in embarrassing survival," writes the poet. "With my eyes closed wanted it for everyone."



Review Quotes




"Luke Roberts' Glacial Decoys (Boise, ID: Free Poetry) is a subterranean tour de force in balancing the discursive and the immersive."

--The White Review

"Themselves fragmentary, often sharp and jagged, the essays in "Glacial Decoys" are collected with care, tenderness, and even humor."

--Kylan Rice, Colorado State
