Lorna Goodison's new book, Goldengrove: New and Selected Poems, was published by Carcanet in August. Moving seamlessly between standard English and the speech of her guinea woman grandmother, and between story and song, Goodison brings dignity to the everyday and grace to all our experiences.

'What is the rare quality that has gone out of poetry that these marvellous poems restore? Joy.'
