Synopsis

One of Hull's most important modern poets, Norah Hanson's graceful, intelligent writing has been delighting readers for the past decade. Now, for the first time, a selection of her work has been collected in a single volume - one that will be enjoyed by established poetry fans and the uninitiated alike, in 2011 and for many years to come.

Whether reflecting on the past, through derelict landmarks and absent friends, confronting present-day 'domestic dilemmas' with wit and good-humour, or looking to the future through the eyes (and extraordinary energies) of her grandchildren, Norah remains unswervingly honest, entertaining and inventive. Love Letters & Children's Drawings is poetry at its very best constantly insightful, compelling, and in our opinion, essential.
