Description
Ruth Padel's moving new collection, Emerald, is an elegy for her mother on her death at the age of ninety-seven. The poem explores the riches of emerald lore, tracing the glint of green from memories to the natural world.
Padel beautifully carves and cadences her words, creating a chronicle of value and loss, and a celebration of all that is precious in life's remaining moments.
A poignant exploration of grief and its beauty, Emerald shines with the jewel itself, 'the only stone in which the flaws are prized'.
