Bøker av Lesley Saunders

This is Lesley Saunders' fifth poetry collection with Two Rivers Press. It is an intense examination of human culpability, and the unfathomable mystery of being (in) a body, incarnated, made flesh - a thing of blood and love that betrays us with its appalling vulnerabilities.

A Greek merchant-explorer Pytheas is said to be the first person to have circumnavigated the British Isles, in 325 BCE, thereby fixing the islands in the historical imagination as archipelagic, maritime, aloof. His own account of the voyage is lost. This poem attempts to make good that lack.

Lesley Saunders' fourth collection, is an extended praise-song for the Greek and Latin literature she grew up with as a schoolgirl. These poems respond, in oblique and glancing ways, to the riches of these two cultures.
