Giles Blunt, acclaimed crime novelist, delivers a potent collection of verse in Vanishing Act. This debut collection opens a "wicked pack of cards," revealing characters navigating coming of age, heartbreak, and loss.
Blunt's poems delve into the fear of death and philosophical musings, offering a personal apocalypse. Fans of introspective and emotionally charged literature will appreciate this exploration of the human condition. Discover a new side of Giles Blunt, where verse shapes tense narratives with maximum impact.
“Old voice, the gods of rhyme and metre, crumbs of earth and putrefaction hanging from his lips, the poet comes, rising from the dead, orroyos for eyes, roar of blood pounding against canyon walls, his ancient vehicle, too, clicking and road-worthy, counting each kilometre and stress, echoes of Cohen, mordant, arrhythmic, dreaming of diamond-eyed Lucy, the first and last woman. Giles Blunt is here, dripping prose petals, song lyrics. Welcome him home.” —Gary Geddes, author, What Does a House Want?
"Blunt writes with the flashing grace of an ice skater skimming over a frozen pond." —New York Times Book Review
