Description
People Who Like Meatballs is a collection of two contrasting poem sequences that explore themes of rejection and human experience. The title-sequence, "People Who Like Meatballs", is a humorous and poignant portrayal of a man's humiliation, while "Into my mother's snow-encrusted lap" charts a dysfunctional mother-child relationship. Both sequences showcase Selima Hill's unique style, which combines "extreme experience with a dazzling excess" in a way that is both startling and surprising.
Throughout the book, Hill's use of language is characterized by its humour and unexpected combinations of the homely and the outlandish. This is a collection that will appeal to readers who enjoy poetry that is both accessible and thought-provoking.
First published in 2012, People Who Like Meatballs is a significant work by a poet known for her bold and innovative style. This is a great opportunity to explore Hill's unique voice and perspective.
