| Description: |
Soap opera, Country & Western and popular culture in all respects are combined with Renaissance wit, heartbreak and a wicked sense of humour - Lilley's poems abound in warmth and intelligence, drawing the reader into a world that is seriously felt, both in terms of its tactility and the emotional vicissitudes within this wonderful first collection. |
| Synopsis: |
This book talks about a crime of passion. The frame can't contain the enormity of Lana Turner's chiselled head; all that agitated recollection, colliding with the bliss of technicolour in a series of lurid flashbacks. Don't save your decolletage for a gala, don't wait up in a palatial home. According to you, a pathological liar, the letter of apology is in the mail with an autographed studio portrait. Just as every drunk has a manuscript, unlimited emotions need chemical assistance to achieve a plateau of friendliness. Blushing can be a mark of respect, but in this case I was past caring. Anyone can get trigger-happy with the right cocktail of provocation. The body lands at the foot of the stairs and inspires a continental sojourn with time-lapse photography and painted scenes better than a ticket to the opera. |
