Romance

Beschreibung

Ann Sansom's poetry overturns the reader's expectations. Her poems often present human dramas in which people are seen as acting out their versions of themselves in their own fictions - what Stanley Cook called 'an authentic Northern mix of realism and imagination'. Romance was the first book-length collection by a quietly authoritative, resiliently gritty poet whose later collection In Praise of Men and other poems won her many more admirers.
