Acerca de esta escucha

Strange Beach is the debut collection from poet and choreographer Oluwaseun Olayiwola. Intimate and erotic, ecological and philosophical, the poems in Strange Beach illuminate the body as a porous landscape across which existential dramas, filial fractures, and sexual reckonings occur.

The collection ventures across the same ‘Atlantic Ocean’ as Claudia Rankine's ‘Citizen’, which is the same ‘Atlantic Ocean’ in Lowell's ‘Life Studies’, to reveal a queer consciousness deeply steeped in poetic traditions of nuanced confession and moving abstraction. Strange Beach is geological in its accumulation of images, emotions and landscapes that stack, revolve and eschew. The resulting work transmutes messages to the mind of the reader with a feeling of cosmic intuitiveness, as emotion and intellect grapple and become forged. ‘No one can follow you here / not having to become something else’, observes one speaker, in this collection that reimagines how we love, grow, travel, and most of all, change.

Reseñas de la Crítica

‘What do we mean when we read a book and feel that we trust the writer? What I mean when I say that I trust Oluwaseun Olayiwola is that the poems in Strange Beach are as sure in their storytelling as centuries-old myths. These poems explain the world to me, rebuild it in front of my eyes with polysensory images that don’t stop moving. And so I stand in the middle of Olayiwola’s violent universe – where the sun’s arms are broken, where the corpses of sunflowers litter the fields, where 'snow is a skin. Inside it, / violence…' – and watch this incredible journey of survival. This world is like an ocean, erasing Olayiwola’s name from the sand with each approach; these poems are Olayiwola’s finger, rewriting his name again and again whenever the tide recedes.’ — Taylor Byas, author of I Done Clicked My Heels Three Times ‘In this exciting debut, the tideline of the poetic phrase is constantly shifting, is forever rebuilt and remade on the shifting sands of language, every grain of a word held up to the light to consider its myriad refractions’ — Andrew McMillan, author of Pity ‘Strange Beach glitters with a consummate porosity – to life, art, pleasure, experience, the bodies of others. Olayiwola's brilliance as a dancer and choreographer lands, pad-footed, on the page with a devastating grace. The result is gorgeous.’ — Stephanie Sy-Quia, author of Amnion
