Produktbeschreibung
Naomi Mitchison (1897-1999) wrote, during her long life, in more or less every genre one could name: fiction, essays, drama, children's books, and poetry. Much of her writing has been brought back into print, but no sustained effort has so far been made to collect and consider her poetry. This volume is a first step towards that. Only two poetry collections were published during Mitchison's lifetime: The Laburnum Branch in 1926 and The Cleansing of the Knife in 1978. Many more poems are to be found in her volumes of short stories, since it was her custom to intersperse stories with poems, which sometimes expand on the themes of the stories and often have a bearing on her experiences and emotions at the time.
Autorenporträt
Naomi Mitchison [1897-1999] was a literary phenomenon. Tireless in her writing, unafraid and often highly unconventional in her opinions, she left an extraordinary legacy. Her novels for adults and children stressed at different times her deep interest in Scottish and African societies, as well her concerns for the future. She also travelled widely, wrote poetry and plays, memoirs, a war diary, book reviews, political articles, and many letters.
