Linguistic Chunterings

In this, their first publication the sisters have collaborated to produce a substantial and illustrated volume of contemporary poetry. The book itself has been tastefully divided into fifteen subjects by way of - beautifully crafted pen and ink - illustrations depicting the artist’s understanding of the lead poem within each of the fifteen sections. The poems themselves cover a range of subjects from Language, Identity, Emotion, Nature, Nostalgia and the likes. As such the poems highlight many of the concerns people have faced and are currently facing within a constantly changing, industrialized, world. Accordingly, the tone of the poetry reflects much of the social upheaval experienced as a result of fragmented communities, lives and identities. Linguistic Chunterings at times makes for uncomfortable reading by challenging readers to investigate life below its surface; confronting them to look again at the ‘taken for granted’ happenings of everyday life. Linguistic Chunterings does however have a lighter side in its whimsical poetic encapsulation of those more fragile, deeply spiritual moments. Linguistic Chunterings is a contemporary masterpiece.Greenfields, Felicity is the author of 'Linguistic Chunterings ', published 2005 under ISBN 9781413789423 and ISBN 1413789420.
