The Penguin Book of Sick Verse

George MacBeth
4.9/5 (13649 ratings)
Description:"I have arranged the poems in this anthology to constitute a return voyage in the black ship: a voyage from morbid obsession with illness of the mind and body, through nightmare and vision to despair with the world, on to perverted action and extravagant emotion, and finally to that grim enjoyment of the voyage in retrospect which is the essence of the sick joke. Many of these poems will horrify, some will frighten, a few may disgust; several, I hope, will seem intentionally or unintentionally funny.The eight sections - Illness, Mental Breakdown, Visions of Doom, World-Weariness, Corpse-Love, Lovesickness, Cruelty, Sick Jokes - are by no means mutually exclusive. Any reader who works through the book from beginning to end is likely to understand better why each poem is where it is, as well as why it is in at all."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
