Recenzii

'This is clearly poetry for the 21st - edgy and alive, youthful and intelligent... This energising poet can help us confront the unease and complexity of modern life' - Moniza Alvi & Paul Farley, PBS Bulletin. 'Her work really is emphatically of our time, capturing the world in its beauties and horrors in writing that's technically superb, but which also has what, if I was a sentimental chap, I'd call heart' - Ian McMillan, The Verb. 'The themes are ancient - guilt, grief, the almost unbearable com-mingling of beauty and suffering - but shown through contemporary globalised life in all its grossness and glory - Pollard's wit, honesty and recklessness' - Frances Leviston, Yorkshire Post. 'Pollard is still at her best with the lyrical and personal, - the themes that have always driven Pollard's work - identity, ambition, duty, guilt - with the colloquial tone and eye for life's paradoxes that lend her best poems charm and force' - Ben Wilkinson, Guardian. 'This fourth collection from the Bolton-born, East London-living, wildly talented young poet is a total beauty. Changeling witnesses Clare Pollard brilliantly re-rub some old English folktales and transcribe them to our own troubled times, as well as offering up some 40 of her own bewitching compositions. These leap ably between ancient lore and recent political outrage - this is proper knockout, stop-you-in-your-tracks stuff' - Dazed and Confused.
