Liz Gallagher: The Maximus Miracle Tour
The Maximus Miracle Tour
Everything is a miracle. It is a miracle one does not dissolve in one’s bath like a lump of sugar. (Picasso)
Philosophical, inquisitive, humorous narratives show Gallagher’s talent for letting ideas be widely connotative — sharp and daring, quirky and knowing — these poems of wide-ranging themes and approaches are chock full of the unexpected, delivered in lively rhythms and tempo with an energy and way of seeing the world that is compelling.
From the cosmic to the domestic, from childhood flashback to adult matter-of-factness, from the simply chilling to the witty and authentic — cleverness and a surreal intensity entertain and enlighten, making Wrong Miracle an achievement of the amusing and the deep.
Gallagher is a poet of immense resource with a refreshingly original voice that will move one to exclaim – ‘Ah, what a great thing for poems to do!’
