Synopsis :

"Behold" is Nicki Jackowska's seventh book of poetry. The title poem vividly evokes the history of the Holocaust with precise particulars and mundane details. Her European consciousness and working-class English roots give her writing an extraordinary spectrum of awareness. Many of the poems are akin to dramatic monologues, moving from a Lewes garden party to characters in a Brighton Terrace and thence to Krakuw. John Berger writes of the collection that 'Its grief has penetrated its syntax, and when there's that kind of penetration - it changes the reader's breathing.'

À propos de l'auteur: Nicki Jackowska has published six collections of poetry, three novels and the ground-breaking book on language, 'Write for Life'. She works as a creative writing tutor and advisor, collaborates with visual artists, and is a consummate performer of her poetry, drawing upon early theatrical roots. Her intimate knowledge of theatre is reflected in Behold and in her recently completed novel, 'The Lost Gardens of Mariamne'. Jackowska has received a Lannan Grant and an Arts Council England grant. She lives and works in Brighton.
