New collection by prizewinning poet and novelist: poems about mortality, illness, being alive and the borderline between the living human world and the underworld
Posthumous winner of Costa Book of the Year 2017, this was the final collection by the renowned poet and novelist, much of it written from her sickbed while facing death. With spare, eloquent lyricism, they explore the borderline between the living and the dead - the underworld and the human living world - and the exquisitely intense being of both.
