The Bell Tower

Více o knize

Acerbic, precise and very funny, Pamela Crowe’s poems explore home life and relationships in a delightfully forthright voice. Secret frustrations and anxieties are aired and private fantasies brought into the light, as odes blue into diatribes and psychodramas become love poems.Woven throughout ‘the Bell Tower’ is a love of Jane Austen, Sylvia Plath, Wendy Cope and - above all - Helen Fielding’s Bridget Jones. These are fierce, acutely observed poems that give weight to domestic minutiae and out words to helpless howls into the abyss.
