Description

Tony Hoagland's final collection Turn Up the Ocean is a powerful and moving exploration of human nature in contemporary culture. With unflinching eye and mordant humour, Hoagland examines the reality of living and dying in a time that conspires to erase our inner lives. Hoagland's poems probe long-standing injustices, the atrocities of American empire and consumerism, and our continuing habit of looking away. Yet, they also offer a gymnastics of scepticism and comedy, a dogged quest for authentic connection, and the consolations of the natural world. This remarkable collection is a testament to Hoagland's devotion to the capaciousness and art of poetry. Through his unique blend of wit, observation, and moral intelligence, Hoagland pushes the poem to its limits and beyond, creating a work that is both provocative and entertaining.
