«Voluntary» is a collection of poems by Adam Thorpe, published by Cape Poetry at Penguin Random House in paperback, 80 pages, in English.
The collection explores states of gain and loss, alienation and belonging, and records the traces we leave on skin, in home movies or on stone walls. Against the violence of history, the other sense of «voluntary» suggests the improvised music of chance: the play of a sea otter, a gull's gift to a girl, or poetry itself.
It is Adam Thorpe's sixth collection of poems; the book was originally published in 2012.
For readers of contemporary poetry in English and for followers of Adam Thorpe's fiction.
Adam Thorpe is a British poet and novelist whose works also include short stories, translations, radio dramas and documentaries. He is a frequent contributor of reviews and articles to various newspapers, journals and magazines, including the Guardian, the Poetry Review and the Times Literary Supplement.
