Restoration : Poems Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Complex and focused, this collection of poems moves along the line between waking and sleeping to reveal a narrator who is contemplating her origins as well as her future.

Pugh frequently turns in her work to the image of a bed - as a source of comfort, an erotic landing, and a place for dreaming.

For Pugh, dreams both obscure and reveal, their language a code to be analyzed, as in her longer meditation inspired by Freud's case history 'Dora'.

After dipping dangerously far into dreams, Pugh's poems return to a world of activity, full of physicality before becoming calm.

At the end of the book, the self is restored and can see the world through a newly formed lens taken from its dreams.
