Quote of the Day
I'm filled with admiration for what you've achieved, and particularly for the hard work and the 'cottage industry' aspect of it.

Fossil UnicornSally Purcell
Imprint: Anvil Press Poetry
Publisher: Carcanet Press Available as: Paperback (64 pages) (Pub. Oct 1997) 9780856462825 Out of Stock
Fossil Unicorn is Sally Purcell’s first collection for more than ten years and contains the very best of her work from that period. Drawing on folklore and mediaeval sources, these poems are tense yet fluid in rhythm and diction, and alive with a sense of the numinous underlying the world of the senses. Critics of her first collection, The Holly Queen, spoke of ‘the ghostly music’ and ‘diamantine elegance’ of her poetry. These qualities have remained constant in her later work, in which she continues to explore the mysteries of the quest through legend and myth. |
