Description
Reviews
One of the great pleasures of these poems is the way in which Parsons Wood is intimately known through such precisely placed language.
Judith Willson
Rebecca Hurst writes as a naturalist, a daughter rolled up into dirt like a woodlouse, a mother, the forest, a snowy singer. Shes my favourite unreliable narrator. Words are good but touch is better. Take The Iron Bridge. Shell let you walk ahead. Be pinched by the links. Take a scalding sip. Be magicked back to life.
