A collection of poems that explores fertility, pregnancy, and the landscape of early childhood.
Sinéad Morrissey's fourth collection explores fertility, pregnancy, and the landscape of early childhood in poems that are by turns tender, exuberant and unsettling. Pitched against the envious dead, these diverse narratives of birth and its consequences are rooted in literary and historical contexts - from Aristotle’s theory of spontaneous generation to Lewis Carroll’s Alice - that amplify her theme. Infancy is for Morrissey the rich and contested territory in which what it means to be human in a precarious world is disclosed. Cover photograph: Girl about to do a handstand (detail) by Roger Mayne, 1957. Cover design by StephenRaw.com.
