| وصف الكتاب | *SHORTLISTED FOR THE T.S ELIOT PRIZE 2013* `A stone is lobbed in '84, hangs like a star over Orgreave. Welcome to Sheffield. Border-land, our town of miracles.' - `Scab' From the clash between striking miners and police to the delicate conflicts in personal relationships, Helen Mort's stunning debut is marked by distance and division. Named for a street in Sheffield, this is a collection that cherishes specificity: the particularity of names; the reflections the world throws back at us; the precise moment of a realisation. Distinctive and assured, these poems show us how, at the site of conflict, a moment of reconciliation can be born. |
| المراجعة التحريرية | Helen Mort is among the brightest stars in the sparkling new constellation of young British poets -- Carol Ann Duffy "Outstanding... There's a confidence and wit that's rare in a first book, but underlying it all is the bedrock of the north of England, its landscapes and stories. These are poems of passion, risk, tenderness and power" -- Michael Symmons Roberts, winner of the Forward Prize 2013 "There's been a buzz around Helen Mort for a while, and her debut, Division Street, doesn't disappoint" -- Suzi Feay * Independent * "An excellent first poetry collection -- lucid, intelligent, politically aware, and loyal to the landscape that inspired it." -- Blake Morrison * Guardian Picks of the Year * "Mort is a fast-rising star of British poetry... marked by a gritty urban lyricism and a terrific rhythmic vitality" * i * "A poet of exceptional talent, with a strong clear voice, a sure sense of metre and a poetic sensibility which has an unshakeable attachment to the real world." * Herald * "Although Helen Mort is just 28, it's surprising that Division Street is her first full collection -- so frequently and impressively does her work appear in magazines and competitions... It's a brilliant debut." -- Bill Greenwell * Independent * "A first class first full-length collection" * Tribune * "Gritty, witty, stylish and totally memorable. Division Street is a book which has something important to say, addressing a wide range of topics with novelty and intelligence." * John Glenday * "The beauty of her debut collection is partly the sense that it has been written against the clock. Every poem is on the move... the style is satisfyingly Orwellian -- no long words where a shorter one would serve. Nor is she a poetic detective assisting with mysteries. She knows when to let be and let go." -- Kate Kellaway * Observer * |
