Description
Three long poems - contemplating `The Uses of Greek', imagining the poet Sappho living out her life on the island of Inishbofin, and celebrating `The Farness of Latin' - mark transitions between thematic clusters of shorter pieces. Nominy-Dominy, with its vivid enactment of how, and why, antiquity continues to shape us, will confirm what Michael Hulse, writing in The Poetry Review of her 2012 Cloud Camera, found to be a `most intelligent and thrilling book of poetry'.
