They are the quick-fire reports of an ecstatic new voice in contemporary UK poetry.\" - LA Review of Books\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDear Boy is the dramatic and inventive debut by Emily Berry. These characterful, intelligent and darkly witty poems explore lives lived strangely in unusual worlds, through a series of deft and seductive soliloquies.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn a collection with a taste for ventriloquy and wickedness, and a flair for vocal cross-dressing, the balance of power is always shifting in an unexpected direction - an ingénue masquerades as a femme fatale, a doctor appears more disturbed than his patient, and parents seem more unruly than their children. Eccentric, intimate, arch, anxious, decadent and sometimes mournful, the book's confiding, conversational voices tell stories recognizable and refracted, carried along by the undercurrent on which the collection ebbs and rides: the anguish and energy brought about by a long-distance love affair, which propels and terrorizes and ultimately unites the work.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDear Boy is an irresistible and enlivening collection by a new poet of startling and various gifts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780571284054\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.6 x 4.8 x 0.3 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Faber \u0026 Faber","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50249358147888,"sku":"Trans_9780571284054","price":975.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/614ellnHviL.jpg?v=1761557493","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/bn\/products\/dear-boy","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
