Of mutability

by Jo Shapcott | 05 September 2019
Hardback
Categories: Individual poets
Jo Shapcott's award-winning first three collections, gathered in Her Book: Poems 1988-1998 , revealed her to be a writer of ingenuous, politically acute and provocative poetry, and rightly earned her a reputation as one of the most original and daring voices of her generation. In Of Mutability, Shapcott is found writing at her most memorable and bold. In a series of poems that explore the nature of change - in the body and the natural world, and in the shifting relationships between people - these poems look freshly but squarely at mortality. By turns grave and playful, arresting and witty, the poems in Of Mutability celebrate each waking moment as though it might be the last, and in so doing restore wonder to the smallest of encounters. This beautifully designed edition forms part of a series of ten titles celebrating Faber's publishing over the decades.
