Si Griffiths, ‘Debone & fold’ from The Broken Spine
Si Griffith’s Debone & Fold is an immersion into the experience & realities of working within a commercial kitchen, and the all encompassing worldview of a chef. His language of love, sensuous & sexy, immediate & visceral, speeds from image to image, from desperation to hope, and community. Skilled consistent metaphors, shape poems, and chunky stanzas convey a vibrant and unflinching urgency, as relationships: back and front of house; public and private, are split open, revealing a buffet of sometimes dark delights.
