Pasture and Flock

New and Selected Poems

Edición de la obra Pasture and Flock

"Uneasy nights out with dead Russian poets, dalliances with German gas fitters and emotionally fraught games of badminton are brought together for the first time, along with a brand new body of work, in this time-spanning selection of Anna Jackson's poetry. Local Gothic, suburban pastoral and answerings-back to literary icons are all enhanced by Jackson's light hand and sly humour. Pastoral yet gritty, intellectual and witty, sweet but with stings in their tails, the poems and sequences collected in Pasture and Flock are essential reading for both long term and new admirers of Jackson's slanted approach to lyric poetry"--Back cover.
