Description
Nicholas Laughlin's poetry collection Enemy Luck is a thought-provoking exploration of poetic forms and their histories. Drawing on a wide range of influences, from 18th-century poets to Caribbean and Latin American writers, Laughlin challenges readers to think critically about the expectations and accumulated experiences that shape our understanding of literature. Through innovative devices such as cut-outs, found fragments, and translations, Laughlin creates a unique and dynamic collection that invites active reading and interpretation. With its eclectic mix of styles and references, Enemy Luck is an ideal choice for anyone interested in poetry and its many forms. By deconstructing traditional notions of poetic form, Laughlin's work encourages readers to engage with the material on their own terms, constructing their own stories from the fragments and clues provided.
