| Description: |
From London Zoo to an Essex village and the Arctic Circle, the author explores questions of place - the childhood landscapes we leave behind, those we travel towards, and those like 'Minsk' which we believe to be missing from our lives. |
| Synopsis: |
"Minsk" is Lavinia Greenlaw's third collection, and the first since the title poem of "A World Where News Travelled Slowly" won the Forward Prize for the year's finest poem of 1997. From London Zoo to an Essex village and the Arctic Circle, Greenlaw explores questions of place - the childhood landscapes we leave behind, those we travel towards, and those like 'Minsk' which we believe to be missing from our lives. Greenlaw's restless, inquisitive tone builds to make "Minsk" a hypnotic collection from one of the leading poets of her generation. |
