A Poetry Book Society Commendation 'How the noise in my head grows and grows,splinters into phantoms and shapes, graceless muses for her cot-mobile.How I terror.'

Uneasy inheritances are just the starting point for this debut's remarkable meditations: Should the stories of the past be told? Do they bring redemption or ruin? What are the costs of saying what happened? Beguiling and cathartic, Catherine-Esther Cowie's powerful, formally inventive poems reckon with the past even as they elegise and celebrate her subjects.
