Showing results for "The Trap" in World Literature

Reid was born in Hong Kong and, thanks to the roving nature of his father's employment, spent some of his childhood in foreign places. Most of the locations in this book, however, are the Britain of the 1950s and '60s - perhaps, at this distance in time, no less exotic. As the poems move from pre-verbal experience to adolescence, the younger self is captured in scenes that illuminate the steps by which a man - a poet - has been raised.

A vow. A contract. A marriage of fire and ice. But just when Eric de Vries and I found our forever, the entire world conspired to keep us apart. A kidnapping. A trial. A madman bent on revenge. Now caught in a web of our own passion and a father's obsession, the harder we struggle, the tighter we're caught. They say love conquers all, but it feels like we're the conquest. As the walls close in, I have to wonder...are we really meant to be? Or is this love just a trap?

Il Poetry Slam è una vera e propria gara: su un palcoscenico, i poeti recitano i loro versi e, alla fine, è il pubblico a decretare il vincitore. Di origine antichissima - già i greci organizzavano questo tipo di competizioni - ha avuto un rinnovato slancio negli ultimi anni, prima in America e adesso in tutto il mondo. Simone Savogin ha cominciato la sua carriera di poeta slammer nel 2005 e nel 2013 ha fondato, insieme ad altri, la LIPS (Lega Italiana Poetry Slam).
