📱 eBook en inglés MOON FOR SALE

The poems in Richard Prices Moon for Sale delight in linguistic play, turning over sound and sense with gleeful dexterity. But they are equally visually sensitive: Prices lyricism speaks as much to a cinematic sensibility as to a poetic one, to Terrence Malicks Tree of Life, to the carefully braided documentaries of Viera Cakányová, and to the elegiac filmscapes of Margaret Tait. In the shadow of a culture in which even the moon is up for auction, Moon for Sale records the decadence of our times by incorporating and repurposing that cultures language. At the same time a haven of meaning is sought in the erotic, in the intimate transactions between bodies, that rush of unclevering which both simplifies and intensifies the world.
