Renowned for her use of traditional meter, clarity of style, and originality of subject matter, this is the most complete collection of Pugh’s poems to date. Including works from the past 25 years and organized chronologically, this volume features poems that are reflective, subtly persuasive, and in which themes are often subverted, truisms reversed, and clichés overthrown—revealing a skilled yet unobtrusive poetic voice at the height of her career.
Reviews
A Beautiful Lie – “ It is a sustained sixty-line meditation on human suffering and cruelty, rising to a powerfully affirmative crescendo” – Gerard Woodward, TLS. “I have long admired Sheenagh Pugh's work, which manages to combine accessibility with profundity, clarity and sophistication. The Movement of Bodies offers her familiar blend of the historical, the literary and the inimitably quirky”. John Greening, The London Review Magazine.
