Soho by Richard Scott (English) Paperback Book

Description: Soho by Richard Scott Debut collection presenting an uncompromising portrait of love and shame within Londons Soho community. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description In this intimate and vital debut, Richard Scott creates an uncompromising portrait of love and shame, drawing upon his experience of Londons gay communities. Examining how trauma becomes a part of the language we use, Scott takes us back to our roots: childhood incidents, the violence our scars betray, forgotten forebears and histories. The hungers of sexual encounters are underscored by the risks that threaten when we give ourselves to or accept another. But the poems celebrate joy and tenderness, too, as in a sequence re-imagining the love poetry of Verlaine.The collection crescendos to Scotts tour de force, Oh My Soho!, where a night stroll under the street lamps of Soho Square becomes a search for true lineage, a reclamation of stolen ancestors, hope for healing, and, above all, the finding of our truest selves.
