Description

Hannah Sullivan's debut collection Three Poems is a revelation, comprising three long poems that showcase her inventive and looping style. The poems are united by their intensity and substance, yet each stands apart with its own unique voice.

The poems explore themes of love, loss, and identity, from the wry study of romantic possibility in "You, Very Young in New York" to the philosophical exploration of repetition and returning home in "Repeat until Time". The collection also delves into the complexities of family life, as seen in "The Sandpit after Rain", which offers a nuanced examination of birth, loss, and the passage of time.

With its unique perspective and modernizing style, Three Poems is a compelling read that will appeal to fans of contemporary poetry. Sullivan's work is reminiscent of the great modern poets, yet her voice is unmistakably her own, making this collection a worthwhile read for anyone interested in innovative and thought-provoking verse.
