Fruitcake Paperback / softback
by Selima Hill
Paperback / softback
Description
"Fruitcake" brings together four poem sequences about motherhood by 'this brilliant lyricist of human darkness' (Fiona Sampson). "Bougainvillae" explores love and having a mother. "Nylon" is about happiness, and not having or being a mother.
Then "Bunker Sacks" brings grace but also the shock of being a young mother.
Finally, "Grunter" shows the impact of Asperger's syndrome on both mother and child.
Like all of Selima Hill's books, "Fruitcake" charts 'extreme experience with a dazzling excess' (Deryn Rees-Jones), with startling humour and surprising combinations of homely and outlandish.
