Through the Square Window by Sinead Morrissey
A collection of poems that explores fertility, pregnancy, and the landscape of early childhood.
From reviews of Sinead Morrissey's The State of the Prisons: One of the major rewards of The State of the Prisons lies in the way Morrissey makes her poetic machines work and ride: in her formal risk, not least the outrageousness and enchantment of her rhymes, but also the occasional pushed-to-the-brink line-lengths, some of which feel like walking the plank with the eyeYou have to trust her. - The Guardian It is, in short, a book of splendours. - The Irish Times
