9781900564113: Lighting a Slow Fuse: New and Selected Poems

Synopsis

This new collection honours Nicki Jackowska's long intimacy with language. She moves between loss and celebration, weaving poems from personal and social roots with insight, subtlety and humour. Few poets have met with such spirit the complexities of love, the world's violence, shadow and redemption, nor achieved so agile and resonant a poetic voice. Five collections are represented here. The new poems, "Under Cover", explore the visible and the hidden, open up new dimensions for love, eroticism and artifice.
