Selima Hill: Women in Comfortable Shoes, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Hot on the heels of her previous collection Men Who Feed Pigeons, Selima Hill's Women in Comfortable Shoes is the 21st book of poetry from "the UK's Emily Dickinson". This collection presents eleven contrasting but well-fitting sequences of short poems relating to women, including: Fishface, in which a disobedient young girl is sent to a Catholic convent school to give her mother a break; Fridge, in which trucks, geese and fridges speak of death, grief and absence; and Girls without Hamsters, which deals with an older woman's obsession with a spider-legged young man.

Writing with her trademark wit and originality, Selima Hill looks closely at the complications and contradictions that define our lives and relationships.
