A bold, boundary-preaking poetry collection that defies easy labels. This edition presents the mirror-sharp work of Nancy Cunard, a sequence of lyrics and longer poems that delve into love, revolt, memory, and the costs of freedom. Rich with storm-tossed imagery and restless motion, it captures a world at once lyrical and urgent.
The book gathers voices that speak of adventure, longing, and disillusion, moving through seas, cities, and inner landscapes. Its language shifts from intimate confession to sweeping ritual, inviting readers to ride the tides of emotion and idea without flinching.
- Vivid, improvisational verse that blends personal longing with social and historical reflection.
- Images of sea, night, and war that create a moody, dramatic atmosphere.
- Long, interconnected sequences that explore love, courage, and the search for meaning.
- A modernist voice that challenges conventional forms and expectations.
Ideal for readers of modern poetry and those drawn to intense, musical language that confronts both passion and danger.
