Clare Pollard's fourth collection is steeped in folktale and
ballads, and looks at the stories we tell about ourselves. From the
Pendle witch-trials in 17th-century Lancashire to the gangs of
modern-day east London, "Changeling" takes on our myths and
monsters. These are poems of place that journey from Zennor to
Whitby, Broadstairs to Brick Lane. Whether relocating the
traditional ballad 'The Twa Corbies' to war-torn Iraq, introducing
us to the bearded lady Miss Lupin, or giving us a glimpse of the
'beast of Bolton', "Changeling" is a collection about our
relationship with the Other: fear and trust, force and freedom.
