The poems in Tara Bergin's debut collection combine sensuous,
supple lyricism with the unsettling familiarity of folklore,
fairytale and dream. They are inhabited by characters who seem at
first widely different from one another, yet share nervous energy,
a troubled state of mind: 'I am unwell, little crow, / I am unwell
and far from home / where longing lives in my house'. In This is
Yarrow Bergin gathers language from a wide range of sources and
places to create a music and vision entirely her own.
Tara Bergin's third collection, Savage Tales continues to explore
original territory, bringing the riddle, song and dialogue into a
series of formally inventive and blackly comic sequences. Bergin's
book asks us to steer our way through a chorus of exchanges and
situations, as she charts the fraught course between the making of
individual poems and, uneasy bedfellow of this sustained activity,
an authority which is always here called into question. Dramatizing
the contemporary and the classic with great wit, ingenuity and
panache, Savage Tales confirms Bergin as one of the outstanding
poets of our time.

Shortlisted for the 2017 T.S. Eliot Prize. A 2017 Poetry Book
Society Recommendation. Shortlisted for The Forward Prize for Best
Collection 2017. Shortlisted for the 2018 Irish Times Poetry Now
Award. Following her 2013 debut This is Yarrow (winner of the
Seamus Heaney Prize and the Shine / Strong Award), Tara Bergin
returns with her second collection, The Tragic Death of Eleanor
Marx. The poems draw on folksong, fairytale and theatrical
monologue as Bergin explores the alluring and sometimes tragic
consequences of translation. When she committed suicide in 1898,
Eleanor Marx (daughter of Karl Marx, pioneering sociologist, and
translator of Flaubert's Madame Bovary) imitated Flaubert's
heroine, Emma. Both women, in their own ways, died passionate
deaths, and Bergin's poems are concerned with intense love, intense
grief. With a sing-song rhythm and dark humour, they play off the
natural theatricality of great lovers, great writers and great
readers who, like the fancy-dressed children in 'Mask', are both
'themselves and strangers'. 'That's all they wanted.'
The Forward Book of Poetry 2018 showcases a selection of the best
contemporary poetry published in the British Isles over the last
year, including the winners of 2017's prestigious Forward Prizes
for Poetry. It is introduced by Andrew Marr, chairman of the
Forward Prizes judges. Their final recommendations give a strong
sense of the variety, vitality and wit of poetry today, making this
anthology - the 26th in an annual series - valuable to both
first-time poetry readers and those keen to find more new poetry to
enjoy.
