Description
Zoë Brigley's third collection Hand & Skull explores the complexities of rural life and the human experience. Drawing on her own memories of the Welsh landscape, as well as her observations of American communities, Brigley delves into themes of violence, comfort, and the search for a more beautiful way of being. In this powerful collection, Brigley contrasts the horror of violence with poems that offer solace and commentary on life's present moment. She also writes epistolary poems, addressing women from her past, present, and imagination, including Georgia O'Keeffe, Tess, and Edna Pontellier. Poetry Book Society Recommendation. With its unique blend of personal reflection and poetic exploration, Hand & Skull is a thought-provoking collection that invites readers to consider the complexities of human experience.
