Description
Faust by Sandeep Parmar is a poetic exploration of the human experience, drawing inspiration from Goethe's story. The poet maps the figure of the migrant onto the scholar Faust, tracing a path of striving and displacement in the face of climate destruction and post-colonial legacy.
Parmar's work delves into the complexities of heroism, tragedy, and migratory grief, questioning who chooses to leave, why they do so, and what drives them forward. The poet also examines the interplay between striving as a response to mortality, a critique of globalisation and technology, and the female element underlying male aggression and desire.
Through Parmar's poems, we see the accrual of loss and the impossibility of home reflected in the works of poets from Goethe to Elizabeth Bishop, Vivien Eliot, Winckelmann, Homer, and Marilyn Monroe. This collection invites readers to reflect on their own experiences of displacement and striving.
