"The thike, Claire Crowther's imaginary creation, 'broods, plays, and is "othered" by an uncaring society'. The poetry that appeals to Crowther, and for which she acts as such an eloquent advocate, often does the same. The essays of Sense and Nonsense are passionate acts of elective affinity, precise and careful homages to kindred spirits from Lorine Niedecker and Veronica Forrest-Thomson to Denise Riley and R. F. Langley. Carrie Etter's forensic interviews send us back to Crowther's own poetry, and remind us that she is entirely at ease in such company. Generous and gladsome, a gift of a book." -David Wheatley…mehr

Autorenporträt
Solar Cruise is Claire Crowther's fourth collection and a Poetry Book Society Recommendation for Spring 2020. Her first collection, Stretch of Closures, was shortlisted for the Aldeburgh Best First Collection prize. Solar Cruise is a love story of a poet and a physicist who is devoted to halting climate change through solar energy. It is a passionately personal but also political work. Claire Crowther's poetry has always been linguistically playful; here she uses an engaging variety of stylistic devices to deliver perhaps the most important message of our time, that solar energy can save us from extinction. Claire Crowther is Deputy Editor of Long Poem Magazine and lives in Somerset with her partner, Emeritus Professor Keith Barnham, Distinguished Research Fellow at Imperial College, London.
