Synopsis
Filled with striking imagery, this book of poems demonstrates the development of the poet’s voice from her first collection. The verses are permeated with allusions to Russian literature and classic myths and take inspiration from subjects as disparate as motherhood, art, and war.

About the Author
Sasha Dugdale is a translator, a consultant at the Royal Court in London—where she initiated the Russian Theater New Writing Project in 1999—and the author of Notebook.
Review
"Dugdale is doing one of the hardest things for a poet, staking out an individual terrain. Where many writers would use heavily signed or insistently located materials to do this, she seems to prefer an unadorned language which requires her to be truthful to rich and contradictory areas of feeling. It makes for a beguiling and unusual debut, its best poems at once elusive, satisfying, and likely to go on being read." —Sean O'Brien, Times Literary Supplement, on Dugdale's previous collection

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Sasha Dugdale's poems explore the mysterious solitudes of individual lives with tender, unsparing lucidity. The book opens with a sequence written at the Pushkin family estate. The great Russian poet, setting out to St Petersburg, turns back when a hare runs in front of his horse: the superstitious act saves his life. Such chance or fated moments where paths cross are at the heart of the collection. A boy on a train, passing a gold chain through his fingers, sparks a buried childhood memory in a watching passenger; lovers reach out to touch in the dark, while, a dying soldier holds to the sight of house martins swooping over a pool. In fragmentary meetings, Dugdale finds a source of hope and art. Contains poems, which explore the mysterious solitudes of individual lives.
