Her study of modernist writing, The Work of Revision, was published in 2013 and awarded the Rose Mary Crawshay Prize by the British Academy. Her first collection Three Poems (2018) won the T. S.

Hardback. Etat : New. Hannah Sullivan's first collection, Three Poems, won the T. S. Eliot Prize and the inaugural John Pollard International Poetry Prize. Was It for This continues that book's project, offering a trenchant exploration of the ways in which we attempt to map our lives in space and time. But there is also the wider, collective experience to contend with, the upheaval of historic event and present disaster. 'Tenants', the first poem, is an elegy for Grenfell, written from the uneasy perspective of a new mother living a few streets away. Elsewhere, from the terraces and precincts of seventies and eighties London to the late-at-night decks of American suburbs, intimately inhabited geographies provide reference points and sites for revisiting. Nothing is too small or unlovely to be transfixed by the poet's attention, from the thin concrete pillars of a flyover to an elderly peacock's broken train. There is a memorialising strain in the forensic accumulation of detail, but there is also celebration, a keen sense of holding on to and cherishing what we can. N° de réf. du vendeur 0102716

Hardback. , . Author: Hannah SullivanFormat: HardbackNumber of Pages: 112Hannah Sullivan's first collection, Three Poems won the T.S. Eliot Prize andthe inaugural John Pollard International Poetry Prize. Was It for This continuesthat book's project, a trenchant exploration of the consciousness of dailyliving and the way in which we attempt to map our lives in time and space. Here is a life recalled through the dwelling places that have contained it, bythe associated people, paraphernalia and peculiar rites of an individual existence.But there is also the wider, more collective experience to contend with,the upheavals of historic event and present disaster. 'Tenants', the first poem,is fuelled by the particular anxieties of a mother of young children living inthe vicinity of Grenfell Tower at the time of its destruction. Elsewhere, fromthe terraces and precincts of 70s and 80s London to the late-at-night decks ofAmerican suburbs, intimately inhabited geographies provide reference pointsin a construction that sets the three distinct and formally experimental partsof the collection in conversation with one another. Nothing is too small orunlovely to be transfixed by the poet's attention, culminating in an effort toshake off the ingrained aesthetics of received opinion and, in revisiting theplaces of childhood, discovering instead the beauty in the thin concrete pillarsof a flyover, the geranium brocades around a porch, or the consolation to befound behind the modernist rows of windows at the Chelsea Hospital. Thereis a memorializing strain in the forensic accumulation of detail, but there isalso celebration, a keen sense of holding onto and cherishing what we can. Hardback.
