John Fuller 
Dice Cup [EPUB ebook] 

In the dice cup, then, life becomes not a design but a wager; not an adventure but a game Brimming with brio and brilliance, John Fuller s latest collection comprises exquisite philosophical arguments, dream visions, aphorisms, precise portraits, colourful fables and tableaux of life. But here too lie shadows: in departures and deteriorations, in a life balanced delicately between the known and the unknown. Taken together, The Dice Cup unfolds like a Chinese box of observations; wit, humour, pathos and playfulness entwine to thrilling and thought-provoking effect. It is a late, great work from one of our finest poets.
