Description
Gillian Allnutt's latest collection, wake, brings together two worlds: the natural world and the spiritual life. In these poems, the boundaries between them begin to blur, speaking for each other in a conversation that is both deeply personal and universally relatable. The poems here are about looking back at an old world, keeping watch over its dying, and being human in that world; yet they also look forward, waiting for the new world to awaken. The speaker navigates the complexities of our time, finding common ground with others who are similarly displaced and uncertain. Through her characteristic use of imagery and language, Allnutt speaks out of the collective experience of humanity, rather than individual lives or stories. This is a collection that reflects the turmoil of our times, yet finds solace in the shared human condition.
