About this listen
Bloomsbury presents An Interesting Detail, written and read by Kimberly Campanello.
'An Interesting Detail is full of returns, 'the costumes and repetitions available' to the speaker – to any of us – in a new place; the forms, the situated patterns of being and doing we borrow from the past and resurrect here, for good or ill' FRAN LOCK
An important and timely collection spanning time and space, pain and power, from an innovative poetic voice
The poems in An Interesting Detail confront our shared, layered past (both planetary and human) and its knotty relationship to the present, stretching from today to prehistory, in a voice that is knowing and yearning, sincere and sardonic, and at times defiant. Campanello’s prose poems, brief lyric outbursts, and poetic sequences ludically navigate catastrophe and sweep us up in the minutiae of everyday life, which includes pain and illness, machinations of power and moments of suspended connection.
Critic reviews
'What’s interred is not resting. Campanello pulls at every detail to disarm, discern and dismantle pieties and imprecisions, encouraging us to dig deep into subtleties' (SO MAYER)
'These startling prose poems surprise us with something rich and strange, plunging us into a world that hovers somewhere between blog and myth' (PHILIP TERRY)
'An extraordinary collection, in which the present is powerfully haunted by the past. The poems weave through circles and loops, echoes and repetitions, formally and thematically' (RACHEL BOWER)
'Our relics are released from their sterile cases … Degeneration, preservation and the wonder of both are contained in these poems. A beating heart in perspex' (NASSER HUSSAIN)
