The territory of Clare Shaw's third collection isn't one she chose
herself, but one which chose her: the flooded valley and the ruined
home. The 2015 floods in Britain left whole swathes of the country
submerged, including her home town. Flood offers an eye-witness
account of those events, from rainfall to rescue, but ripples out
from there. Intimately interwoven with the breakdown of a
relationship, flooding serves as a powerful metaphor for wider
experiences of loss, destruction and recovery. Testifying equally
to the forces that destroy us and save us, flood runs through the
book in different forms - bereavement and trauma, the Savile
scandal, life in an asylum. Yet ultimately, this is a story of one
life as it is unravelled and rebuilt, written from the heart and
from the North, in a language as dangerous and sustaining as water.
