Description

Elaine Beckett's debut collection explores the complexities of human experience through seven short sequences that spiral around themes of loss, betrayal, delight and rebirth. With an impeccable ear for language and intricate use of poetic form, Beckett reveals truths with compassion and nuance. Her poems are a masterful balance of hard-hitting and humorous, often surprising and sometimes painful. They are steeped in a dark, ironic lyricism that invites close reading and reflection. This is a beautifully wrought collection that will resonate with readers who appreciate honest and thought-provoking poetry. With its unique voice and structures of great poise and resonance, this debut collection from Verve Poetry Press is not to be missed.
