Egg/Shell, Paperback / softback Book

Egg/Shell Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

The Poetry Book Society Spring Choice 2024. 'It is hard to hurt and then explain the hurt away / so as not to hurt anyone.

But have you seen / my life?' ('Child of Lir')The lives depicted by Victoria Kennefick alter, shatter and recombine in stunning monologues, innovative hybrid forms and piercing lyrics: her second book Egg/Shell is a diptych, a double album, which explores early motherhood and miscarriage, and the impact of a spouse's gender transition and the dissolution of a marriage.

Acclaimed as one of the boldest poetic voices to emerge in recent years, Kennefick, in the follow-up to her best-selling Eat or We Both Starve, breaks new ground with generosity, emotional complexity, formal ingenuity and wit.
