Fernsehturm Berlin - Paperback

by Stu Watson (Author)

Stu Watson's latest collection spans the personal and the global. Fersehturm Berlin is as much a record of the author's experience as it is a cultural document, in which the poems both enact and record the processes of history, memory and technology. With deft use of form and language, Watson's poetry captures our current moment with subtlety, compassion and acuity. This is a timely and essential book which address the world, its stories, its language, and its conflicts, both micro and macro, real and imagined. But it is also an extended act of witness, a record of how things have been and what they are now, an extraordinary testament to how we process the past and are haunted by the stories we tell ourselves and others.
