Love the Albatross
is a meditation on inter-generational relationships, estrangement and silence,
in which unreliable narrators communicate through messages in bottles, birds
and dreams, fragmented memories assume mythological status, and the stories we
tell ourselves to justify our actions escape their labyrinths and run wild.
In ‘Love the Albatross’ … estrangement, transformation and albatross are expertly woven together, with Harvey bearing witness to the nuance, complexity, and devastation inherent in this most ruinous of losses. I found these poems authentic, liberating and transformative … Nothing is more evocative than the feeling that a writer has gone back in time with the reader, as witness and companion.
