Description
Fiona Benson's debut collection explores the human experience through a range of poems that move from prehistoric landscapes to modern-day life. Her work delves into themes of bodily longing, conception, birth and child-rearing, as well as the complexities of depression, violence and creativity. A central sequence of dramatic monologues addresses Van Gogh, allowing Benson to focus on the artist's inner world. The poems also touch on the experience of miscarriage, conveying a sense of great grief with unflinching authority. Throughout, Benson navigates the fragile boundaries between life and death, beauty and threat. Benson's poetry is marked by its lyricism and emotional depth, creating a powerful and moving reading experience.
