Description
Erato combines documentary-style prose narratives with passionate lyric poetry, exploring themes of personal loss, desire and recovery in the context of a world marked by war and displacement. This collection asks questions about the value of the poet and poetry itself, as Rees-Jones experiments with form, particularly the sonnet. The book includes elegies for family members and close friends, such as the moving long poem 'I.M.', as well as an autobiographical piece that explores the author's own experience of middle age. Through her close attention to immediate or remembered experience, Rees-Jones counters bewilderment with a nuanced exploration of the body and its emotions. Erato is a powerful and personal work that invites readers to replay, rethink, and rename their understanding of trauma and recovery.
