Böcker av Claire Trevien

Our lady of tyres is an absorbing collection of poetry by Claire Trévien translated into French by Marie Lando. Trévien understands poetry intimately, writing with a clarity of perception, a deep knowledge of beauty and a sprinkling of mysterious stardust. Trévien's poetry is moving, delicate and often darkly humorous. Our lady of tyres reimagines the world a new, as though laid bare and reconstructed, enchanted by little details, full of bottomless wonder.

Anchors, shipwrecks, whales and islands abound in this first collection by Anglo-Breton poet Claire Trevien. These poems are sketches, lyrics, dreams, and experiments in language as sound. Trevien's is a surreal vision, steeped in myth and music, in which everything is alive and - like the sea itself - constantly shifting form.

Formally inventive and intricately composed, Astéronymes is a book of redactions - and an elegy for places and people that have been ruined by time, erosion or neglect. Astéronyme, n. (French). A sequence of asterisks used to hide a name or password.In this follow-up to her acclaimed debut, The Shipwrecked House (Guardian First Book Award longlisted), Anglo-Breton poet Claire Trévien takes us to a place where ancient stone circles collide with the language of the internet.Trévien becomes curator of imaginary museums, indexing objects and histories with a quixotic energy. The stunning central sequence recounts a journey across the Scottish island of Arran, where myths are carved into remote caves and a mountain hides behind a ¿froufrou of gas¿.
