Say Something Back will allow readers to see just why the name of
Denise Riley has been held in such high regard by her fellow poets
for so long. The book reproduces A Part Song, a profoundly moving
document of grieving and loss, and one of the most widely admired
long poems of recent years. Elsewhere these poems become a space
for contemplation of the natural world and of physical law, and for
the deep consideration of what it is to invoke those who are
absent. But finally, they extend our sense of what the act of human
speech can mean - and especially what is drawn forth from us when
we address our dead. Lyric, intimate, acidly witty, unflinchingly
brave, Say Something Back is a deeply moving book by one of our
finest poets, and one destined to introduce Riley's name to a wide
new readership.
