The Recreation of Night
- Default Title
Description
David Harsent praised Tamara Fulcher's prize-winning poem, 'Choirsinger' - included in this volume - saying: "This bleak little domestic drama of loss and loneliness is cleverly understated. In fact, its tragedy lies in restraint - an economy that extends into technique.... The narrator breaks off, now and then, to punctuate the poem with intense images that characterise the event and act as counterpoint to a series of utterances the sheer banality of which is, ironically, an indicator of their power to hurt. You can almost hear the echoes... The level tone of the piece gives everything away - the fear of feeling, the expectation of neglect; and the lines find just the right weight to allow us to witness the little tableau, static for only a moment, the arrested motion, the averted eyes, the damage done, the damage yet to come".
