Men Who Feed Pigeons brings together seven contrasting but complementary poem
sequences by 'this brilliant lyricist of human darkness' (Fiona Sampson)
relating to men and different kinds of women's relationships with men. The
Anaesthetist is about men at work; The Beautiful Man with the Unpronounceable
Name is about someone else's husband; Billy relates to friendship between a man
and a woman; Biro is about living next door to a mysterious uncle; The Man in
the Quilted Dressing-gown portrays a very particular old man; Ornamental Lakes
as Seen from Trains is about a woman and a man she's afraid of; while Shoebill
is another sequence about a woman and a man, but quite different from the
others. Like all of Selima Hill's work, all seven sequences in this book chart
'extreme experience with a dazzling excess' (Deryn Rees-Jones), with startling
humour and surprising combinations of homely and outlandish. Shortlisted for the
2021 Forward Prize for Best Collection.
