Beskrivning

Following on from her Forward prize-winning collection, Small Hands, Mona Arshi's new book continues in its lyrical and exact exploration of the aftershocks of grief. These extraordinary poems, which see Arshi continuing with her experiments with form, relocate experiences in both past and future feeling, in both the intimacies of ordinariness and the collective experience of myth. Moving and discomfiting, these poems tune, in their acute emotional awareness of individual pain, to the dangers and unsettling violences of the contemporary world. Nevertheless, at the centre of this book is an overarching commitment to hope, in whatever form it takes, to the earth's tiny creatures, and its 'churning, broken song'.

Recensioner i media

'Arshi's poems - written to address the loss of her brother - are often quicksilver, airily spacious. [She is] refreshingly unafriad of tenderness. [...] This is poetry of raw truthfulness. It is urgently rooted in the practical. [...] Arshi's poems leave a sense that they spring from deep places, below consciousness, but are then brought to the page (and ear) by deliberate and lovely technique.' Alison Brackenbury, Poetry London
