Description
Rachael Boast's stunning new poetry collection is inspired by the patron saint of travellers. Hotel Raphael charts a journey through heat, drought and pain, exploring the reality of chronic illness in a time of global crisis. Boast draws on the biblical figure of Job to examine how much suffering we can take, and what we can realistically change. In this moving and vivid collection, she describes places where we can find refuge along the way, including Dartmoor landscape. With its extraordinary travelling song, Hotel Raphael offers a powerful exploration of bearing pain without trying to erase its source. Boast's unique voice as an English Symbolist poet brings a distinctive perspective to this thought-provoking work.
