Full Description
The long-awaited third collection from one of the UK's finest, most virtuosic of modern lyric poets. These poems take the reader on surprising journeys of healing, hard-won amid personal and social vicissitudes - including triumph over addiction, and alcoholism -- and open spaces in which to share in emotional, quasi-spiritual transcendence despite. Who could ask for more?
"When poetry is the centre of your life the strength of some poets will get fixed in the orbit of your day, their poems settled into the memory of mind and body. Sophie Robinson is one of my absolute favourites, her lines returning to me, visceral, unsettling, exacting, and stunning! If you read one book of poems this year, let it be this! She's a gateway drug, keeping you wanting all books of poetry to be as genius to make part of your waking life." - CA Conrad, author of While Standing in Line for Death.
