The Revolver in the Hive takes place in the aftermath of tragedy, where grief is recognizable but contorted into unsettling forms. In this remarkable debut, Nicolas Hundleys poems chronicle with honestyand often bitter humora harrowing journey through loss, death, and mourning. A widow hauls a sack filled with thelimbs of statues, and mourners become familiar as a pet is familiar, returning years later, / stitched up from experimentation.Juxtaposing such incongruous images, Hundley creates uncanny worlds in which antiquated objects and characters coexist with those from a sinister future, in which wounddressers and alchemists coexist alongside heretical machines enacting misdeeds. Religion, fatherhood, and masculinity are all explored in Hundleys tales: A bicycle becomes the subject of worship, inventors act as parents to their machines, and an industrialized human reproduction takes place in factories.In Hundleys hands, words clang together in startling ways, and the repetition of phrases and images leads to unexpected transformations. The poems brilliantly use dream logic to fuel their imagery, even as they call upon a variety of poetic formsfrom the prose poem to the sonnetto evoke literary traditions that recall the gothicand the surreal. Moving and strange, Hundleys poems are unforgettable.
