Lucy Newlyn

Opis

The poems in "Earth's Almanac "emerged over a fifteen-year period following the untimely death of the poet's sister. Lucy Newlyn adapts the tradition of the "Shepherd's Calendar" to the phases of grief, condensing a long process of reflection and remembering into the passage of a single year. The poems shift through forms and move between places - Oxford, Borrowdale, and finally Cornwall, where the poet finds a second home near the sea. In these intense expressions of love and loss, anger and guilt, there is no smooth path towards consolation.
