100 Years of Ermintude
By Tom Evans
Beautifully crafted, sensitive and enlightening, One Hundred Years of Ermintrude, is a breath of fresh air to the poetry arena.
Drawing on the imaginative vitality of the magic-realist mode, the book tells the stories of 3 members of one family, presided over by the indomitable Ermintrude, condensing defining moments in each life into stanza form. The result is a highly evocative, affecting poem-story.
The eponymous opening tale of centenarian Ermintrude is recounted backwards, opening with the image of her wreath and ending with her mother s pregnancy, and establishes the probing questions about time and life that characterise the ensuing tales of her children, Tristan and Lucy. The stories intertwine, musing on family, individuality, and mortality, whilst the prismatic writing bears endless re-listening.
