Description
The Outer Wards by Sadiqa De Meijer is a deeply personal and visceral exploration of the challenges of child-rearing through crisis. In her poems, de Meijer confronts the exhaustion, exhilaration, fear, and distraction that come with this experience, as well as the struggle to find new words for it. De Meijer's poetry is marked by a joy in language, with quick-fire turns, sumptuous sounds, and nursery-rhyme seductions. Her use of words is both precise and evocative, capturing the complexity of her emotions and experiences. Through The Outer Wards, de Meijer offers a powerful and intimate portrayal of one mother's journey, written in a style that is both accessible and deeply expressive.
