Description
Inside the Wave by Helen Dunmore explores the boundary between life and death, delving into the intense experience of being alive. With spare yet eloquent lyricism, these poems examine the bliss and anguish of existence. Helen Dunmore's tenth and final poetry collection, Inside the Wave was published in 2017, following her previous title-poem winning National Poetry Competition entry, The Malarkey (2012). A posthumous retrospective, Counting Backwards: Poems 1975-2017 (2019), covers ten collections from her four-decade career. The book includes Dunmore's final poem, 'Hold out your arms', written shortly before her death and added to subsequent printings.
