Full description for The Migraine Hotel

  • A combination of verse and prose poetry, "The Migraine Hotel" is Luke Kennard's third collection and very much a sequel to "The Harbour Beyond the Movie". The voices continue to explore the territory opened up by "Harbour", at once satiric, stricken, sincere and bitingly sarcastic, combined with a kaleidoscopic range of ways of engaging with a poem as a reader. The prose poems are prose poems in the tradition of Baudelaire, which is to say they read more like grouchy comic monologues with unreliable narrators than prose-verse characterised by excessive lyricism.
