Rachael Boast's first collection, Sidereal, was one of the most
highly regarded debuts of recent years, winning the Forward Prize
for Best First Collection and the Seamus Heaney Centre for Poetry
Prize. Her second, Pilgrim's Flower, richly confirms and
dramatically extends that talent - but where Sidereal's gaze was
often firmly fixed on the heavens, Boast's focus here has shifted
earthward. The book sings life's intoxicants - love, nature,
literature, friendship, and other forms and methods of
transcendence - and sees Boast's pitch-perfect lyrical metaphysic
challenge itself at every turn. Pilgrim's Flower gives an almost
Rilkean attention to the spaces between things - the slippage
between what we think we know, and what is actually there - and in
doing so brings the language of rite, observance and rune to the
details of our daily lives.
