Produktbeschreibung
First collection by young English poet featured in Bloodaxe's new poets anthology "Voice Recognition" (2009). Sarah Jackson lived in Brighton for many years, and now lectures at Nottingham Trent University.
Sarah Jackson explores the edges of writing in this uncanny book of touch. Tender and haunting, yet beautifully poised, the poems in Pelt get right under your skin. The collection takes you on an unsettling journey between infancy and adulthood. Slipping from birds to blindness, from hides to hiding, Pelt uncovers the unfamiliar in the everyday. It is written in the dark. It asks to be read through your fingertips. Striking and elegant, subtle and yet full of desire, this is a brilliant debut.
