Deeply personal in the way they record illness and care, the poems often emerge out of darkness: in \u201cThe Blind Photographer\u201d, typically, he relishes the dense particularities of his speaker\u2019s situation, even as he goes about \u201cinvoking all that\u2019s lost in the world \/ as blocks of visitation on contact paper.\u201d&#8217; &#8211; John McAuliffe<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The sensual, anatomised poems of Nullaby travel through interior and external landscapes, &#8220;the body\u2019s catacombs&#8221;, to track apparitions, hospital wards, the night terrors of illness. These places where &#8220;the joke begins to wear itself thin&#8221; nevertheless brim with light,colour, scent. At once loss and redemption, its song of &#8220;I&#8221; to &#8220;you&#8221; is almost unbearably intimate and always extraordinary. In this heart-aching collection Wright is &#8220;faithful all along&#8221; to lyrical form and its &#8220;limitless repertoire of love&#8221;.&#8217; &#8211; Gail Ashton<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Associate Lecturer and PhD candidate Patrick Wright\u2019s poetry pamphlet, Nullaby, is now available to purchase through Eyewear Publishing: https:\/\/store.eyewearpublishing.com\/collections\/eyewear-pamphlet-series The poems explore themes such as psychodrama in the domestic space, clandestine realities of love, and fears and anxieties in a &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.open.ac.uk\/blogs\/WritingTutors\/?p=963\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":172,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[167,159],"class_list":["post-963","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-poetry","tag-pamphlet","tag-poetry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.open.ac.uk\/blogs\/WritingTutors\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/963","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.open.ac.uk\/blogs\/WritingTutors\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.open.ac.uk\/blogs\/WritingTutors\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.open.ac.uk\/blogs\/WritingTutors\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/172"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.open.ac.uk\/blogs\/WritingTutors\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=963"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.open.ac.uk\/blogs\/WritingTutors\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/963\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":971,"href":"https:\/\/www.open.ac.uk\/blogs\/WritingTutors\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/963\/revisions\/971"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.open.ac.uk\/blogs\/WritingTutors\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=963"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.open.ac.uk\/blogs\/WritingTutors\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=963"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.open.ac.uk\/blogs\/WritingTutors\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=963"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
