Her \u003ci\u003eSelected Poems \u003c\/i\u003eoffers a generous overview of a working life which has taken in philosophy, feminism, literary history, song and aphorism - and within which the old certainties are interrogated and shaken at every turn. Hers is a voice through which we come to better understand one another, the meaning of our time here, and the nature of human communication itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e`Wide-ranging, sometimes anguished, her poems are fascinating and often beautiful, and certainly more than usually thought-provoking.' - \u003ci\u003eGuardian\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\/Width\/Depth (mm): \u003c\/strong\u003e197\/153\/22\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm: \u003c\/strong\u003ePaperback \/ softback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Pan Macmillan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47599176909027,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1701\/6275\/files\/9781529017120.jpg?v=1712678098","url":"https:\/\/www.harbourbookshop.co.uk\/products\/9781529017120","provider":"The Harbour Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
