Synopsis

Jo Reed's second collection of poetry offers readers more of her trademark mix of memory, myth and magic; a window to a unique world where the unvarnished reality of OAP shopping trips ('Finding the deepest trolleys, we fill our day') sits alongside breathtaking flights of imagination ('a turtle sings, fathoms deep, a boy held safe upon her back.')

The magic of Life Class is found in the single consciousness that connects the poems; be they set in the world of 1960s Soho, on the edge of an estuary, on a Greek island, or in the hearts and minds of Jo's inimitable female protagonists (and the men they love or more frequently, tolerate). An invaluable chance to spend more time in the company of this much-loved poet.
