In her latest collection, Alison Brackenbury draws on her lifetime's experience of rural England, its people, and its ways. From the lapwings of her childhood Lincolnshire to the recent floods in Gloucestershire and the signs of a changing climate, the poems reach urgently to both past and future. Keenly aware of both the beauty and the harshness of the natural world, Brackenbury reminds us of our own fragility and responsibility.
Alison Brackenbury was born in Lincolnshire in 1953 and studied at Oxford. She now lives in Gloucestershire, where she works, as a director and manual worker, in the family metal finishing business. Her Carcanet collections include Dreams of Power (1981), Breaking Ground (1984), Christmas Roses (1988), Selected Poems (1991), 1829 (1995), After Beethoven (2000) and Bricks and Ballads (2004). Her poems have been included on BBC Radio 3 and 4, and 1829 was produced by Julian May for Radio 3. Her work recently won a Cholmondeley Award. Her latest collection is Singing in the Dark (2008): 'A quiet lyricism and delight' (the Guardian).
'Brackenbury loves, lives, hymns and rhymes the natural world and its people like no other poet.' Gillian Clarke
