Description

Flood by Clare Shaw is a powerful and deeply personal collection of poetry that explores the aftermath of the 2015 floods in Britain. The poet's own home town was affected, and she draws on this experience to explore themes of loss, destruction, and recovery. Through her unique voice and perspective, Shaw weaves together fragments of life, including the breakdown of a relationship, the Savile scandal, and life in an asylum. Her poetry is both a testament to the forces that destroy us and those that save us, and a deeply personal account of one life unravelled and rebuilt. Written from the heart and rooted in the North, Shaw's language is as dangerous and sustaining as water, offering a unique and unflinching perspective on the human experience.
