Peter Jaeger’s beautiful new work was written while travelling in Japan, India, Canada, Italy and England, but these intense lyrics are more than travel poems , they explore body awareness and consciousness within language itself - an interplay that becomes more evident through Jaeger’s unfamiliar surroundings and his exploration of meditation and yoga.

These poems express the temporary, impermanent character of perception by re-negotiating the traditional, voice-based lyric, making use of collage as well as dramatic shifts in syntax and narrative. Prop is a book written in motion, and its quick changes in tone and imagery present the dynamism and impermanence of the world.
