Product Description
A slim volume from the winner of the 2008 Listowel Writer's Week Poetry Competition
These poems like the pizzicato rain of their title are refreshing, musical and slightly strange. Georgina Eddison is joyfully serious about her themes: family, childhood, work, history, are captured in wonderfully warm, deft, light-filled poems. Her parents’ hilariously sparring marriage, her Aunt May dancing naked in her room at fifty in an English suburb, Mrs Sonnix on her way to the pawnshop – the people never stay still. But this poet is more than a lucky onlooker, and from children in their bedrooms like mermaids ‘singing, singing’, to Anna Freud, to imagined fish in a surreal ocean, she has an unshakeable grasp of her poetic art which reinvents them all in language and imagery that are deceptively simple, bright and strong.
