81 Austerities

Sam Riviere

4.9/5 (14034 ratings)

Description:Witty, comic, plaintive, touching, acerbic, droll, cavalier, caffeinated, irreverent, stringent: 81 Austerities, the debut from Sam Riviere, seems to achieve the impossible in being all things at once. Initially conceived as a response to the ‘austerity measures’ implemented by the coalition government in 2011, the poems quickly began taking on a life in kind: ‘cutting’ themselves on levels of sentiment, structure and even subject matter. Not content to merely build a series of freethinking poems, these remarkable pieces seem eagerly and mischievously to analyze their moment of creation, then weigh their worth, then consign their excess to the recycling bin thereafter. Experience is speedy, the poems seem to say, so dizzyingly fast that the poetry will inevitably be running to catch up - often arriving at a scene the moment after the moment has gone. The effect is as funny and it is startling, beguiling as it is surprising, and makes 81 Austerities a vivid reminder that deprivation, as Leonard Cohen put it, can be the mother of poetry.Sam Riviere began to write poetry while at the Norwich School of Art and Design, and completed a Masters at Royal Holloway. His poems have appeared in various publications and competitions since 2005. He co-edits the anthology series Stop Sharpening Your Knives, and is currently working towards a PhD at the University of East Anglia. He was a recipient of a 2009 Eric Gregory Award.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
