A Wonderful View of the SeaRuth Silcock
Imprint: Anvil Press Poetry
Publisher: Carcanet Press Available as: Paperback (96 pages) (Pub. Oct 1996) 9780856462641 Out of Stock
The Skeleton Dance We went to the pictures one bright afternoon, Ruth Silcock brings deft narrative skill, compassionate humour and a sharp eye for the oddities of human behaviour to these poems about the neglected, the marginalized and the unnoticed. ‘46 Nursing Homes’ is a sequence which draws on her personal experience. It will speak directly and wittily to the heart of anyone who has tried to find appropriate care for an elderly relative or friend. Her book is a triumph of humour and humanity. |
