Anotace knihy

RTA Parker’s Space Odes is an entertainingly bonkers romp of constellation and collage, writing and re-writing its entertainingly allusive way through intertextual space lampooning, deriding, despairing at and celebrating robots, the universe, love and sport (cricket, mostly) in a wonky poetics of anxiety and joy at the world we are thoroughly and catastrophically screwing up.

‘No Catharsis.

No bust through into the empyrean.

No illumination.

It ends with you realizing that even the silent beyond has been colonised by wankers’
