Her Book by Jo Shapcott
Poems 1988-1998 is a compendium from Jo Shapcott's award-winning books Electroplating the Baby, Phrase Book and My Life Asleep. It reveals her to be a writer of ingenious, politically acute and provocative imagination and justifies her reputation as one of the most original and daring voices of her generation.
"'Shapcott is gifted and original, and it is in work such as hers that the future health of poetry needs to be sought' Sean O'Brien, Sunday Times"
