Eva Salzman – författare

Eva Salzman is a thoroughly modern, urban poet who writes with equal wit and precision about the natural - and unnatural world. In her sceptical, restless poems, irreverent muses and relentless twins take on sharply contemporary subjects: society, the unreliability of memory and - especially - identity, gender and love, sexual or otherwise. Born in New York, Eva Salzman moved to Britain in 1985, and four books later has firmly established herself as one of our most irrepressible and necessary poets. Double Crossing includes many new poems as well as selections from collections including The English Earthquake, Bargain with the Watchman and One Two. Poetry Book Society Special Commendation.

An anthology of women's poetry in English featuring poets born from 1850 through the present. The poems appear under themed subject headings and reflect women's lives. Authors from the USA, Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand and the Caribbean are included.
