false <![CDATA[The Talking Horse and the Sad Girl and the Village Under the Sea: Poems]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1165448361m/4703.jpg 4703 4 From the phenomenally bestselling author of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time comes Mark Haddon’s first collection of poems. That Mark Haddon’s first book after The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time is a book of poetry may surprise his many fans; that it is also one of such virtuosity and range will not. The Talking Horse and the Sad Girl and the Village Under the Sea reveals a poet of great versatility and formal talent. All the gifts so admired in Haddon’s prose are in strong evidence here – the humanity, the dark humour, and the uncanny ventriloquism – but Haddon is also a writer of considerable seriousness, lyric power, and surreal invention. This book will consolidate his reputation as one of the most imaginative writers in contemporary literature. 809650 2005 The Talking Horse and the Sad Girl and the Village Under the Sea: Poems total:87|5:13|4:37|3:20|2:9|1:8| 87 299 223 17 4 0 false false Sun Sep 06 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 08 10:17:02 -0700 2009 Sat Nov 07 00:25:26 -0800 2009

The poetry... well... It seems like, for such a short book, the collection should have been more cohesive.
