Summary

The Kingdom of Jane Draycott's fifth collection has its face turned towards the future, considering how we face the ever-continuing approach of the unknown.

The Kingdom Summary

The Kingdom by Jane Draycott

The Kingdom of Jane Draycott's fifth collection is clearly a world we know, altered a little by Draycott's distinctive, prismatic lyricism, whose loving attention to place and our moment is skewed in a way that opens the world afresh. Here are England's towns and countryside, roads and ports and sushi chains, yards and herbs, an airport and a columbarium, and poems that consider art in a time of plague by way of meditation on Titian, Apollinaire and Derek Jarman.

The Kingdom Reviews

'The word quiet should be applied to the chords and modulations of Draycott's eerie and beautiful poems. She listens, and therefore so do we.' - Sean O'Brien
