Overview
Filled with striking imagery, this book of poems demonstrates the development of the poet’s voice from her first collection. The verses are permeated with allusions to Russian literature and classic myths and take inspiration from subjects as disparate as motherhood, art, and war.
Reviews
"Dugdale is doing one of the hardest things for a poet, staking out an individual terrain. Where many writers would use heavily signed or insistently located materials to do this, she seems to prefer an unadorned language which requires her to be truthful to rich and contradictory areas of feeling. It makes for a beguiling and unusual debut, its best poems at once elusive, satisfying, and likely to go on being read." —Sean O'Brien, Times Literary Supplement, on Dugdale's previous collection
