Description
Asylum Improvisations on John Clare is a poetic journey that explores the human experience through the eyes of Lola Haskins. This collection of four sections takes the reader on a winding path, from the tender cycle of life to the supernatural and back again.
The author's writing style is reminiscent of painting the world around her, with vivid descriptions that bring the reader into her inner world. Along the way, she finds herself lost and then laugh-out-loud funny, before finally arriving at a place of self-discovery.
Through her improvisations on John Clare's life, Haskins shares a powerful message about finding happiness in unexpected places and being able to find home within oneself. A thought-provoking read for anyone looking to explore the human condition through poetry.
