Description
Pit Lullabies is a deeply personal and unflinching collection of poems that explore the anxieties of new parenthood. Jessica Traynor's visceral and often humorous verse delves into the darker aspects of modern life, including violence against women and environmental destruction.
Through poems that are both lyrical and earthy, yearning and angry, Traynor seeks to find luminescence in the darkest places. This is a powerful and thought-provoking work that mines gold from the shadows.
A Poetry Book Society Recommendation, Pit Lullabies is a striking addition to Traynor's oeuvre, following her previous collections Liffey Swim (2014) and The Quick (2019).
