Simon Armitage Never Good with Horses : Assembled Lyrics Hardback Book

In Simon Armitages work, there has always been a territory he identifies as a twilight zone where poetry and song lyric converge. He has explored it through numerous enterprises most recently with the ambient postrock band Land Yacht Regatta. Many of the lyrics collected here were written for LYR. Others are drawn from Armitages days with the DIY indie band The Scaremongers, various film and theatre productions including Songbirds and the BAFTAwinning Feltham Sings, and other miscellaneous ventures. The volumes Intro charts these projects and the blurred origins of ritualised language, while its Outro offers contextualising notes and anecdotal insights. Never Good with Horses further demonstrates the rich range of Armitages repertoire and celebrates his ear for the music of language, harnessed here for the page. | Simon Armitage Never Good with Horses : Assembled Lyrics Hardback Book
