Napoleon’s Travelling Bookshelf
Sarah Hesketh
£7.99, 64pp
At once erudite, humourous and stylishly contemporary, Sarah Hesketh’s debut collection invokes a world of frozen lakes, ‘snow-spun streets’ and people who have stayed too long.
“What Sarah Hesketh’s poems do so remarkably is to string a row of images together in such a way that each keeps its distinct hardness while at the same time contributing to a crystalline whole. They are original and utterly convincing.”
– Bernard O’Donoghue
