This essential volume draws from each of her four previous collections – including Magdalene (2017), a spiritual and sensual exploration of contemporary womanhood, and What the Living Do (1997), a haunting archive of personal loss – and contains more than fifteen new poems. Whether speaking in the voice of the goddess Persephone or thinking about ageing while walking the dog, Howe is ‘a light-bearer, an extraordinary poet of our human sorrow and ordinary joy’ (Dorianne Laux).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54965978956149,"sku":"9781780377247","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/files\/9781780377247.jpg?v=1738402345","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.co.uk\/products\/9781780377247","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
