Pearl

WINNER OF THE PEN AWARD FOR POETRY IN TRANSLATION Pearl is an entrancing allegorical tale of grief and lost love, as the narrator is led on a Dantean journey through sorrow to redemption by his vanished beloved. Retaining all the alliterative music of the original, a Middle English poem thought to be by the same anonymous author responsible for Sir Gawain and the Green Knight , Pearl is here brought to vivid and intricate life in the care of one of the finest poets writing today.
