*SHORTLISTED FOR THE T.S ELIOT PRIZE AND COSTA POETRY AWARD 2013*
'A stone is lobbed in '84, hangs like a star over Orgreave. Welcome
to Sheffield. Border-land, our town of miracles...' - 'Scab' From
the clash between striking miners and police to the delicate
conflicts in personal relationships, Helen Mort's stunning debut is
marked by distance and division. Named for a street in Sheffield,
this is a collection that cherishes specificity: the particularity
of names; the reflections the world throws back at us; the precise
moment of a realisation. Distinctive and assured, these poems show
us how, at the site of conflict, a moment of reconciliation can be
born.
