Description
Peter Dent is a consummate spinner of yarns: his poems are a weave of (seemingly) disparate threads, each one suggestive of a story that's left suspended for us, the readers, to pursue, to make of what we will. What we are treated to is to watch the life of the mind - and the mind of the life - sifting the nitty-gritty as well as the flotsam and jetsam of the world we inhabit, making meaning from juxtapositions, non sequiturs and disconnections that may baffle, may surprise, but always invite our complicity in spinning the yarn.
