All Odd and Splendid Hardback

Description

Following her latest book, What Becomes You, a memoir co-written with her transgendered son Aaron, Hilda Raz's new collection of poems is an exploration of lives and selves transformed by choice and by chance.

Formally and thematically diverse, these poems are testament to the will to redefine oneself in a world of constant, and often painful, change.

Beginning intimately with poems of personal examination and moving gradually to the world of shared experience, Raz rethinks the structures of family and community while examining the impact of loss and growth.

All Odd and Splendid takes its title from a quotation attributed to Diane Arbus, the American photographer known for her portraits.

Raz's poems share Arbus's steadfast celebration of the strangeness in the ordinary, bringing us into contact with a beauty and pain that are inseparable when we see things as they truly are.
