In these new poems, each of them written in couplets and contained within the space of 16 lines, Mimi Khalvati takes the weather, the seasons, and the passage of night and day as the ground on which she draws her emblems of human life and love. An extended elegy for her mother, the book is also a series of meditations on the small details of animals’ lives and on the vulnerable animal within the human being.
Mimi Khalvati is the author of six poetry collections, including The Chine, Entries on Light, In White Ink, Mirrorwork, and The Meanest Flower, which was a Poetry Book Society Recommendation and short-listed for the T. S. Eliot Prize. She received a Cholmondeley Award in 2006 and is a fellow of the Royal Society of Literature.
