Informationen zum Autor Jane Draycott has been nominated three times for the Forward Prize and has won the Keats-Shelley Poetry Prize. She is a resident writer at Henley's River and Rowing Museum, a Royal Literary Fund Fellow, and the author of The Night Tree and Prince Rupert's Drop. Klappentext The third full collection of poetry from a critically acclaimed British poet begins with a series of 26 poems based on the International Phonetic Alphabet. From there, the poems travel to a variety of locales, including a California ravine, a Venice piazza, the Atlantic Ocean, and outer space. An extract from a new translation of the medieval dream-vision "Pearl" is also included. Focusing on the themes of love, time, myth, and history, this highly anticipated collection explores the diversity of thought and landscape through the voice and reflection of a distinctively female perspective. Zusammenfassung A collection of poems that explores liminal places where ocean meets land! land drops to ravine! lives intersect in piazzas. It features poems that cross thresholds between what is finished and what is 'not over yet'! between present and past.
