* Brahic’s 2019 pamphlet Catch and Release won the Wigtown Book Festival Alistair Reid Pamphlet Prize. * Previous collection White Sheets (2012) was shortlisted for the Forward Prize and Hunting the Boar (2016) was a PBS Recommendation. * This fifth collection from the award-winning poet and translator delights in the pleasures of nature, art, and the body, writing with an affection and tenderness for human fragility. * Poems are situated in Paris or in her husband’s native Provence, relishing the erotic and sensuous moments to be found in everyday life. * Tackles a wide range of subjects: human migrations, time, history and memory.
