Sinopsis

Singing About Melon opens with a call for silence: &lsquo,Silenzio&rsquo,. This is the self-defeating shout of the guards in the Basilica of St Francis in Assisi, where several of the poems are placed. It is a call that echoes through Luke Thompson&rsquo,s first collection, playing with sense and nonsense, the sayable and the unsayable, as well as the saying that un-says.áá á ááEels, anchorites, parrots, invertebrates, a ventriloquist&rsquo,s dummy and a mechanical squirrel are all deployed in this exploration of sense and silence through themes of bodily identity, grief, the divine and other species.á&ldquo,A rare book &ndash, both strange and exhilarating, poems which bore and drill into the reader&rsquo,s mind much like the earthworms, eels and other tiny guests vibrating on the pages.&rdquo,á&mdash,Mona Arshi.á&ldquo,Skilfully precise and playfully mischievous, these poems embrace the spiritual, the cartoonish and everything in between with a mindful sensibility.&rdquo,á&mdash,Isabel Galleymore
