Description
Jutland is a powerful and poignant collection of poetry by Selima Hill, shortlisted for the T.S. Eliot Prize. The book brings together two contrasting poem sequences, Advice on Wearing Animal Prints and Sunday Afternoons at the Gravel-pits, which explore themes of forgiveness and human experience with a unique blend of humour and intensity.
Through her characteristic 'dazzling excess', Hill charts the complexities of human relationships and the search for connection, raising questions about the nature of forgiveness and the limits of kindness. Her poetry is marked by its startling combinations of the familiar and the outlandish, and its unflinching examination of the human condition.
With its striking language and unflinching honesty, Jutland is a compelling and thought-provoking read that will resonate with anyone interested in poetry that challenges and rewards.
