Overview

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.

Reviews

"I've waited some time to read something this intelligent, this sensuous and this crystalline. In fact The Night Tree is the finest collection I've read for ages. What are you waiting for?" —David Morley, The Guardian, on The Night Tree


"The Night Tree confirms that [Draycott] possesses an imaginative intensity and concentration… This book should be on the prize shortlists."  —Sean O’Brien, The Sunday Times
