Description
Heat Wave is a poetic cabaret that combines high jinks with powerful truths. Stannard's writing tackles cruelty, hysteria and disappointment with a unique blend of levity and grace.
The poems in Heat Wave subvert and entertain, refusing to adopt a sententious tone when dealing with the many crises we face. Critics have praised the book for its tonal control and ability to balance the lyrical and demotic.
With its mix of mordant and gleeful considerations, this collection is likely to make you laugh and cry on the same page. A refreshing and thought-provoking read, Heat Wave is a great choice for anyone looking for poetry that challenges and delights.
