balancinghistorybooks's review
4.0
I had never heard of this poetry collection before I decided to borrow it from my University library, but I am so pleased that it caught my attention. Beautiful imagery abounds here, and Clanchy is definitely a poet whom I will seek out in future. Lots of history is at play, and many of her turns of phrase are very memorable indeed.
'The Invisible Man':
'It was the bandages that book got right.
We're none of us quite here, alone -
the way we pat our cheeks at night
to check our flesh still clothes the bone.'
