Before the fifteenth century, European sailors were unsure what
waited for them beyond their well-known travel routes around the
Mediterranean Sea, so they kept within sight of land. But all of
that changed after Prince Henry the Navigator of Portugal started
sending ships down the coast in the hope of finding a sea route to
India and Africa. This was the beginning of a giant leap toward
understanding what the globe actually looked like. Certain European
nations grew rich and powerful from the New World gold and lands
they claimed, while advanced, long-standing civilisations like the
Aztecs and Incas were destroyed in the cruelest of ways.
Poetry. VAUXHALL is pitched where voice and experience coincide.
The poems sing and dance through heavenly mansions and real
bungalows, tourist traps and museums, pharmacies and vending
machines. VAUXHALL is a calendar. It's an "all occasion" greeting
and gift. The Hollywood pitch for VAUXHALL might have been
"Marianne Moore meets Joan Jett" or "Alexander Pope goes to night
school." Like the pleasure garden once called "Fox's Hill" which
gives this book its title, VAUXHALL puts emotion in Place because
things are alone or entire after they have been torn or leased or
unmoored. Or, to quote rather than rephrase Yeats, "Love has
pitched his mansion in / The place of excrement; / For nothing can
be sole or whole / That has not been rent." Catherine Daly is also
the author of CHANTEUSE/CANTATRICE, LOCKET, and DADADA, all
available from SPD.
