Border-land,our town of miracles...\' - \'Scab\'From the clash between striking miners and police to the delicate conflicts in personal relationships, Helen Mort\'s stunning debut is marked by distance and division. Named for a street in Sheffield, this is a collection that cherishes specificity: the particularity of names; the reflections the world throws back at us; the precise moment of a realisation. Distinctive and assured, these poems show us how, at the site of conflict, a moment of reconciliation can be born. Σελίδες: 80, Διαστάσεις: 13.5x13.5cm
