The Isthmus of Samuel Greenberg

English

By (author): Jeremy Reed

Isthmus was Jeremy Reed's first collection, produced in a finely-printed edition by Asa Benveniste's Trigram Press in 1980. Overwrought, perhaps even over-written, it shows the author struggling with a gamut of new influences - some of them provided by Benveniste - and trying to find his way in a brane new world of poetry. The book has an American theme, and shows much American influence, albeit undigested in places, but Reed's individuality brings it all together. See more

About Jeremy Reed

Jeremy Reed born on a chip of rock off the coast of French Normandy has been for decades one of Britain's most dynamic adventurous and controversial poets. Called by the Independent British poetry's glam spangly shape-shifting answer to David Bowie his poetry fiction and performances of his work are singularly inimitable in their opposition to grey mainstream poetry. He has published over 40 books of poetry fiction and non-fiction winning prestigious literary prizes such as the Somerset Maugham Award and on coming to live in London in the 1980s was patronised by the artist Francis Bacon. Among his biggest fans have been the late J.G. Ballard Pete Doherty and Bjoerk who called his work 'the most beautiful outrageously brilliant poetry in the world' Jeremy writes about every subject that British poetry considers taboo: glamour pop rock sci-fi cyber mutant gay drugs neuroscience the disaffected and outlawed and the fizzy big-city chemistry of the London in which he lives and creates. His performances solo or with The Ginger Light are unrivalled in intensity.
