Pearl

de Simon Armitage

Pearl describes a bereft father mourning the loss of his precious "Perle." Returning to the garden where she first disappeared, he observes the verdant shades of late summer, a cruel reminder of the grief that shadows his every waking thought. Succumbing to the afternoon heat, he falls into a trancelike sleep and dreams of a radiant apparition that closely resembles his Pearl. Presented alongside the original text, and overseen by medievalist James Simpson, Pearl is a new translation of a classic medieval work" --
