A propos du livre

Revue de presse

In a year of brilliantly themed collections, the judges were unanimous in choosing Sinéad Morrissey's Parallax as the winner. Politically, historically and personally ambitious, expressed in beautifully turned language, her book is as many-angled and any-angled as its title suggests. --Ian Duhig, Chair of the 2013 T S Eliot Prize Judges

Brilliant.

--Fran Brearton, Guardian --Fran Brearton, the Guardian

Praise for Through the Square Window
This is a book of meticulous craft and thought... eminently readable and re-readable.
--Times Literary Supplement

The outstanding poet of her generation.
--Stephen Knight, Independent

With its incisive imagery and taut rhythms, the collection is a formal triumph... the poems come to us with the intimacy of whispered secrets. --The Guardian

Capturing David Niven on a magical marble escalator to heaven in 1946, recording L.S. Lowry's studio after his death, and peering into the illicit worlds of the Victorian Mutoscope, these poems document what is caught, and what is lost, when houses and cityscapes, servants and saboteurs ('the different people who lived in sepia') are arrested in time by photography. Assured and unsettling, Morrissey's poems explore the paradoxes in what is seen, read and misread in the surfaces of the presented world.
