Bøger af Kit Ingram

Aqueous Red explores the hidden aspects of water and love, through Kit Ingram's spellbinding poetic exorcism of violence, intimacy, dreams, and illicit liaisons which surface in fragments of interconnected lives. A boy watches his father pour scalding water onto his brother's hands, and later rescues a doll, promising to protect it with a kiss. A priest blesses a prostitute with holy water while a son drowns in a painful memory. In the sequence 'Red', a married man falls in love with a drag queen, and they play out fantasies of violence in a theatrical blaze that threatens their destruction. Intimate and voyeuristic, this collection plumbs the unseen moments that bind us all.

Alice and Antius is an illustrated narrative poem following the lives of two lovers-a scientist and poet-through a climate apocalypse. Survivors of a lost time, they enter a labyrinth filled with the haze of nostalgia, loss, meaning, and hope. At turns mythic and intimate, wry and lyrical, Alice and Antius show us the power of words to trace our path across the shadow of ruin.
