Description
Claire Askew's first full collection, This Changes Things, explores the lives and experiences of women who are often overlooked. Her poems focus on the complexities of empathy and the limits of understanding, particularly for those in socially or economically marginalised positions. Askew's work is characterised by its use of objects, lighting effects, and liminal spaces to draw the reader into her argument. The book's poems examine the systems of power that shape our lives, even in seemingly romantic relationships or moments of travel. Ultimately, Askew's poetry holds up a mirror, asking us to pay attention to the world around us. This Changes Things was shortlisted for several awards, including the Saltire Society First Book of the Year Award and the Seamus Heaney Centre Prize for First Full Collection.
