The Marble Fly , is Jamie McKendrick's third collection of poems following The Kiosk on the Brink and his widely acclaimed collection The Sirocco Room . The title refers to an image on a Pompeian wall-relief and fuses McKendrick's interests in the classical world and natural history. These forty poems, each pertaining to a particular history--whether natural or unnatural, personal or impersonal--focus on modes of transport and their relation to the natural world. As eloquent as they are intricate, the poems work on both a literal and metaphorical level, and cover such topics as Darwin's Voyage of the Beagle , the construction of canals, the first airplane, and spiders sent up into space in the Skylab.
About the Author Jamie McKendrick , winner of the Eric Gregory Award, is the author of two previous books of poetry, including The Sirocco Room , named Poetry Book of the Year by The Independent on Sunday and the Daily Telegraph , and The Kiosk on the Brink .
