Shortlisted, Adelaide Festival Literary Awards.
The sourcebook for the film Hemingway in Spain, this hybrid work melds several Hemingway "voices", the author, the "Hemingway Hero", and the author projecting the Hemingway consciousness and aesthetic on a contemporary Spanish landscape.
"The poems stitch you into a tapestry…with loose threads left hanging just to trip you up if you become complacent." Bev Braune, Australian Book Review.
Hemingway in Spain and Selected Poems by David P Reiter, was shortlisted for the prestigious John Bray Award in the 1998 Adelaide Festival Literary Awards.
Reiter's work emerges out of his passion for travel, cultural history, and of course his love of language. Not easily categorized, his writing shows at once a mastery of classical form and techniques but also a playful exploitation of post-modern methods.
There are several "Hemingways" in this sequence, voices from the past and present, real and imagined, in a mode Reiter calls 'fusion poetry' to produce an unforgettable artistic experience.
Hemingway in Spain and Selected Poems is the fourth poetry collection from an author of international stature.
Now in its 2nd edition, it features even more of Reiter's photographs from Spain, providing a taste of what's in store in his DVD based on the book. The enhanced eBook, available direct from IP and on the iBook store, contains audio readings of many of the poems.
The DVD is available in PAL and NTSC versions and for download from Amazon. The audiobook is now available from Audible.com as well as other major audiobook sites..
