Sinopse

&ldquo,Punctuations from History&rdquo, is Ian Gouge&rsquo,s latest collection of poems, a volume that in various ways explores our place in, and relation to, history. Whilst there are similarities in theme to his collection &ldquo,Human Archaeology&rdquo, (which debuted at the 2017 Ripon Poetry Festival), the threads tying these pieces together are looser, more fluid.In an unusual departure, &ldquo,Punctuations from History&rdquo, containsábrief &lsquo,context commentaries&rsquo, that provide the reader with a foothold into the individual poems: &ldquo,an attempt to offer up a literary trowel to allow the reader to get below the surface of the poem more readily&rdquo,.Overall, the collection tries to assist with unravelling notions of &ldquo,how we were / or how we are now / or how we might yet be&rdquo,, fragments or mirrors offered up from our &lsquo,punctuated history&rsquo,.
