Let The Dead
Deeply attuned to those things that make and unmake us, Dylan Brennan’s Let the Dead concerns itself with life’s alchemical processes. A couple breathe life into a doomed poppet; a photographer immortalises a corpse; Joyce and Breton rub shoulders on the streets of the poet’s adopted Mexico, where life is a tapestry of ‘delicate anthers’ and ‘disembodied tongues’. These dark meditations are set against poems which consider love, miscarriage, childbirth and the daily miracle of family life.
