Jamie McKendrick

Jamie McKendrick connects our list to the European continent with his sensitive prizewinning translations of Italian and Spanish poetry. This new collection of original poems shows his gift for bringing into verse the vivid landscapes and ‘earscapes’ wherever he travels: be it the English countryside or the sunlit Mediterranean. Philosophical, compassionate and ever imaginative, ‘Anomaly’ demonstrates McKendrick’s deep learning in the visual arts as well as in the European literary heritages we share.

Description

In a period when nations are retracting within their borders, the vivid and intricate poems of Jamie McKendrick’s new collection Anomaly are especially timely, and speak of a fragile legacy of openness and interconnectedness. The poems playfully twin Bologna and Bombay, the South Downs and the Camargue, the imagined and the actual. Often intensely visual, here more than ever, McKendrick’s poems engage with artists as various as the Taviani brothers, Sánchez Cotán, Bhupen Khakhar and Giacometti, and are as alive to the sea-bound cityscapes of Liverpool and Venice as to the rocky landscapes of Sardinia and Slovenia.
