Elizabeth Smither

Night Horse (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In Elizabeth Smither's eighteenth collection of poetry her words are as vital as ever. The poems take the everyday mothers and daughters, cats and horses, books and bowls, slippers and shirts and transform them into something fresh: sometimes surreal, sometimes funny, often enchanted. And throughout, the work is infused with the personality of the author: a quirky, whimsical observer of the mundane world around her, which she shows to be full of surprises.
