Costa Book Awards (2013)
The much-anticipated debut collection from the award-winning poet and rising star, Helen Mort.
     From the clash between miners and police at Orgreave in 1984 to the delicate conflicts in personal relationships, Helen Mort'’s stunning debut collection is one marked by distance and division. Steeped in a profound sense of place, this is a collection that prizes specificity: the particularity of names; the reflections the world throws back; the precise shock of a realisation.

     With a clear, cinematic eye, and a wonderfully distinct and assured voice, Helen Mort’'s poems show us how, at the site of conflict, a moment of creation and reconciliation can be born. Division Street is a remarkable debut from one of the most promising poets of her generation.

Helen Mort was born in Sheffield in 1985, and grew up in nearby Chesterfield. Five times winner of the Foyle Young Poets Award, she received an Eric Gregory Award in 2007 and won the Manchester Young Writer Prize in 2008. Her first collection, Division Street (2013), was shortlisted for the T.S. Eliot Prize and Costa Poetry Award, and won the Fenton Aldeburgh First Collection Prize. In 2014, she was named as a 'Next Generation Poet', the prestigious accolade announced only once every ten years, recognising the 20 most exciting new poets from the UK and Ireland. No Map Could Show Them (2016), her second collection, about women and mountaineering, was a Poetry Book Society Recommendation. Helen has been the Wordsworth Trust Poet in Residence and the Derbyshire Poet Laureate and was named one of the RSL's 40 under 40 Fellows in 2018. She is a Lecturer in Creative Writing at Manchester Metropolitan University and lives in Sheffield. Black Car Burning was her first novel, and A Line Above the Sky is her first work of narrative memoir.

Recenzii

a pint for the ghost: 'An exciting collection from a writer who knows the value of the past, and how to set it against the present to illuminate them both' - Ian McMillan
"Helen Mort is among the brightest stars in the sparkling new constellation of young British poets" -- Carol Ann Duffy "Outstanding. There's a confidence and wit that's rare in a first book, but underlying it all is the bedrock of the north of England, its landscapes and stories. These are poems of passion, risk, tenderness and power" -- Michael Symmons Roberts "Gritty, witty, stylish and totally memorable. Division Street is a book which has something important to say, addressing a wide range of topics with novelty and intelligence." John Glenday "There's been a buzz around Helen Mort for a while, and her debut, Division Street, doesn't disappoint" -- Suzi Feay Independent
