Fusewire
Author: Padel, Ruth
ISBN: 9781784740573
Publisher: RANDOM HOUSE UK
Year first published: 27 Jul 2015
Pages: 64
Format: Paperback / softback
Fusewire has the fierce historical awareness and linguistic energy of Ruth Padel's previous collections but moves into new territory and new clarity. Poems on British activity in Ireland through the ages intrude on an intensely moving series of love poems which reverse sexual cliches of colonisation: here Britain is female and Ireland the high-profile man.
From the prize-winning poet of Rembrandt Would Have Loved You, Voodoo Shop and The Soho Leopard, all shortlisted for the T.S. Eliot Prize.
