Book description
A celebrated winner of fiction's Orange Prize, Helen Dunmore is as
spellbinding a storyteller in her poetry as in her novels. As in her
fiction, these haunting narratives draw us into darkness, engaging our
fears and hopes in poetry of rare luminosity. Her poems also cast a
bright, revealing light on the living world, by land and sea, on love,
longing and loss. "Out of the Blue" presents a comprehensive
selection from her seven previous books of poetry. It also includes a
collection of completely new poems
remarkable for their sensuous
magic, sharp delicacy and sureness of touch.
