Beskrivning
*SHORTLISTED FOR THE T.S ELIOT PRIZE AND COSTA POETRY AWARD 2013*'A stone is lobbed in '84, hangs like a star over Orgreave. Welcome to Sheffield. Border-land,our town of miracles...' - 'Scab'From the clash between striking miners and police to the delicate conflicts in personal relationships, Helen Mort's stunning debut is marked by distance and division. Named for a street in Sheffield, this is a collection that cherishes specificity: the particularity of names; the reflections the world throws back at us; the precise moment of a realisation. Distinctive and assured, these poems show us how, at the site of conflict, a moment of reconciliation can be born.

"Helen Mort is among the brightest stars in the sparkling new constellation of young British poets" -- Carol Ann Duffy "Outstanding... There's a confidence and wit that's rare in a first book, but underlying it all is the bedrock of the north of England, its landscapes and stories. These are poems of passion, risk, tenderness and power" -- Michael Symmons Roberts, winner of the Forward Prize 2013 "There's been a buzz around Helen Mort for a while, and her debut, Division Street, doesn't disappoint" -- Suzi Feay Independent "An excellent first poetry collection -- lucid, intelligent, politically aware, and loyal to the landscape that inspired it." -- Blake Morrison Guardian Picks of the Year "Mort is a fast-rising star of British poetry... marked by a gritty urban lyricism and a terrific rhythmic vitality" i
