Description

Little Silver is a poetry collection that explores the complex relationships between our real and imagined lives. Moments of crisis prompt reflection on the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves, and the strange nature of existing in our bodies and time. The book's title sequence responds to the author's childhood home, whose absence has become a lasting memory. This sense of loss is woven throughout the collection, alongside themes of childlessness and the power of imagination. The poems that make up Little Silver are characterized by their emphasis on inventiveness and endeavour, and the search for lifelines and human traces. Through its exploration of these themes, Little Silver offers a nuanced and thought-provoking examination of what it means to be alive.
