Description
Lorna Shaughnessy's Lark Water is a powerful and evocative collection of poems that explore the complexities of life, memory, and experience. Drawing on dream and story, these poems navigate the turbulence and grit of a life in full flow, yet also reveal extraordinary tenderness.
Through her distinctive voice, Shaughnessy weaves narrative and translation, memory and imagination, creating a rich tapestry of emotions and reflections. From the natural world to personal loss and birth ritual, each poem is a masterful exploration of the human experience, with phrases that leap from the page and into the mind.
This remarkable achievement marks a poet moving from strength to strength, and one who has earned praise for her integrity of language and feeling. With Lark Water, Shaughnessy dedicates herself to the memory of those who have shaped her life, including her father, Lorca, W.S. Merwin, and Gerry Davis.
