The Soho Leopard by Ruth Padel

The Soho Leopard by Ruth Padel

Beautiful, disturbing and a pleasure to read, Ruth Padel's new poems are her most ambitious yet, adding animal legend and zoological science to her glitteringly imaginative canvas.

A glittering imaginative riff on a broken relationship * Christina Patterson, Independent *
Sensuous.. humorous, tender, flamboyant and unforgettable -- Carol Rumens * Independent *
Visual, sensuous and highly seductive - as if Wallace Stevens had hijacked Sylvia Plath with a dash of punk Sappho thrown in * Times Literary Supplement *
