Beschreibung:
Penelope Shuttle was born in Middlesex in 1947. She lives in Cornwall with her husband Peter Redgrave, and their daughter Zoe. Her previous works of poetry include The Orchard Upstairs, The Child Stealer, Adventures with my Horse, The Lion From Rio, and Taxing the Rain.
Penelope Shuttle is a law unto herself. She writes strange, brilliant, sometimes outrageous, funny, sad, poetry, which then suddenly moves one with its utter clarity. This collection, her sixth, has an element of disturbance: the approach of middle age, the growing-up of a daughter, underly the poems, which nevertheless still lead the reader in and out of a world where senses are pristine. In the title-poem, one of several story and dream poems, the poet paints a 'city for Jamie', to please some universal or godlike child. The results of this imaginary poem-building are magnificent.
