Publisher's Synopsis
A man loves a woman, and immortalises their story on paper. The central conceit of Gorgeous is as old as storytelling itself, but Robert James Berry approaches this seemingly dusty form with extraordinary freshness. Each poem is a burst of colour, communicating a delight in the senses that is almost startling in its immediacy. From the fruit markets of Southeast Asia to the dishevelled hills of the British Isles, Berry traces the ups and downs of his protagonists relationship.
