Jo Shapcott's award-winning first three collections, gathered in
Her Book: Poems 1988-1998, revealed her to be a writer of
ingenuous, politically acute and provocative poetry, and rightly
earned her a reputation as one of the most original and daring
voices of her generation. In Of Mutability, Shapcott is found
writing at her most memorable and bold. In a series of poems that
explore the nature of change - in the body and the natural world,
and in the shifting relationships between people - these poems look
freshly but squarely at mortality. By turns grave and playful,
arresting and witty, the poems in Of Mutability celebrate each
waking moment as though it might be the last, and in so doing
restore wonder to the to the smallest of encounters. This
beautifully designed edition forms part of a series of ten titles
celebrating Faber's publishing over the decades.
