These poems of desire, loss and revenge explore lives caught in the
gravity of their own orbit. Haunting, distinctive and sensual,
debut poetry collection The Shape of a Forest has unblinking scope.
This sophisticated debut collection moves from the historical to
the contemporary: Genghis Kahn surveys his territory whilst Amelia
Earhart disappears to myth. The Belvedere Apollo is dug up
heralding the onset of The Renaissance as a tiger meets a foe in a
Siberian Forest, the Pendle witches are hung in Lancashire, and in
tsunami-struck Japanese gardens, South Sea islands and New York
hotel rooms, lives are loosened like milk teeth. The Shape of a
Forest is a powerful survey of life and of human experience that
spans centuries and the continents.
