Bøker av Robyn Bolam

Hyem is Robyn Bolam's fourth poetry collection from Bloodaxe. Her previous collection, New Wings, was a Poetry Book Society Recommendation. Hyem is home in Geordie: the book is about growing up on Tyneside and more generally what and who makes us feel at home throughout the world - and in the natural world also.

This book looks at the traditions behind some of the common images that appeared on stage in the early seventeenth century. Dr Bolam explores contemporary performances in relation to each other and analyses the ways different dramatists handled the traditions they inherited.

Contains poems which focuses on many different kinds of beginnings. The poems are about living through and coming to terms with changes - sometimes momentous or traumatic - and moving on into the future.
