Poetry Book Society Autumn 2020 Choice Shortlisted for the 2020
Forward Prize for Best Collection FURY sees the Ted Hughes Award
winner David Morley once more seeking to give imaginative voice to
the natural world and to those silenced or overlooked in modern
society, ranging from the Romany communities of past and present
Britain, to Tyson Fury and Towfiq Bihani, one of the forgotten
inmates of the Guantanamo bay detention centre. In poems that
bristle with linguistic energy and that celebrate poetry's power to
give arresting voice to the unspoken and the untold, in ourselves
and our societies, Fury is David Morley's most powerfully political
work. It is a passionate testament to poetry’s capacity to speak
to, and for, us and our place in the world - its power to be an
outreached hand, like the 'trembling hands' of the magician in 'The
Thrown Voice' or the 'living hand' of the poets celebrated in
'Translations of a Stammerer'.
