Invisible Sun Av Richard Skinner

<p>Following Viktor Shklovsky’s instruction to make everyday objects seem </p><p>unfamiliar, Richard Skinner’s fourth collection sets out to release ‘the</p><p>potential of inanimate objects’. A marbled egg, white balloons, unopened</p><p>boxes, a Greek island, numbers, a yellow yo-yo – nothing in this book is</p><p>quite what it seems. Unsettling, precise and enigmatic, Invisible Sun confirms </p><p>Skinner’s reputation as a poet of playful misplacement and misdirection. It is a book about windows, light, clouds, the ‘upside down world’ glimpsed through shadows and mists, and always the invisible sun – bright source of all life but also our daily measure of time and loss – illuminating ‘the distant glitter of other people’s lives’.</p><p></p>
