Description

Scott Thurston's Turning Selected Poems 1995-2020 is a collection of lyrical meditations on selfhood that explore the intersections of language, movement and introspection. Through his characteristic use of line and spacing, Thurston crafts poems that become cues for performance, while also revealing the insistent voice of the poet. This book showcases Thurston's unique form of synaesthetic experimentation, where metaphysical dialogues between the dancing and linguistic self are woven together to create a rich tapestry of exploration. With its culminating triumph in the lockdown sonnet sequence 'A Hard Grief', this collection offers a powerful and affecting portrayal of the human experience. With its focus on the intersections of language, movement and introspection, Turning Selected Poems 1995-2020 is a deeply human and affecting book that reminds us of what poetry is capable of when put under pressure.
