Red Gloves – Rebecca Watts (Paperback / Soft Cover)

In this follow-up to her acclaimed debut The Met Office Advises Caution, Rebecca Watts observes and tests the limits of humanitys engagement with the non-human. By turns lyrical and narrative, the poems examine familiar subjects – environmental crisis, hawks, hospitals, the sea, barbecues, flowers, Emily Dickinson – only to find their subjects staring, sometimes fighting, back. Nature and nurture, equally red in tooth and claw, power a book-long sparring match between the overthinking poet and the ever-thoughtless universe, between the crafts isolation and the worlds irrepressible variety. Gloves on and gloves off, the poets hands destroy and build, gather and scatter, caress and strike.
