Description
The Silence by Gillian Clarke In lockdown's silence, Gillian Clarke listens attentively to the world around her. Her poems begin in this quiet, from which other voices emerge. As the book progresses, the silence deepens, exploring themes of memory, childhood, and the Great War's aftermaths. These scrupulous, musical poems find solace in how silence makes room for memory and the company of animal- and bird-life. Clarke returns to key images and formative moments, echoing other ways of living into the present moment. With its musical quality and thoughtful exploration of the human experience, The Silence is a powerful collection of poetry that invites readers to slow down and listen to the world around them.
