Bücher von Richard Lambert

Jeremy Fitch is a brilliant but unstable businessman who will do anything to pursue his dream of wealth and glory in London's small business investor markets. Jeremy needs cash and investors to do it and, although his vision for the future is clear, he is inexperienced and falls prey to ruthless investors... or more accurately, one investor.

A hotel with mysterious guests, a city where the moon wanders, an abandoned seaside pavilion, are some of the places visited in this, Richard Lambert's second collection. Structured around a movement from city to sea and always alert to the emotional resonance of landscape, The Nameless Places dwells on those spaces that lie at the edge of our lives and vision, and that seem somewhere between reality and dream. The collection culminates in a sequence that follows a journey made along the course of a river from its source to its mouth. Here, an English landscape's margins are investigated suburb, waste ground, marsh, and estuary beach. In poems that are formally various (rondeau, villanelle and sonnet) and conjuring an atmosphere of melancholy, The Nameless Places explores forgotten and neglected spaces both of the mind and of our physical world.
