The Flying Trapeze

By Duncan Bush

Unsentimental, tough-minded, and fiercely lyrical, these works of poetry are inspired by places visited, including Australia, France, Germany, Greece, Luxembourg, and the United States. Moreover, this collection examines a number of subjects, including the marginal lives of vagrants, gypsies, minor criminals, the burnt-out, and the bereft as well as the accomplishments of superlative athletes and the beauty of the tango. With a touch of bitter political satire, this book radiates a tension between sensual rapture and knowing cynicism.
