The Iron Bridge – Rebecca Hurst (Paperback / Soft Cover)

Rebecca Hursts first collection bridges memory and observation, noting the detail of the natural world and our changing relation to it. The books places are made familiar by walking. It encounters other worlds alive with new and recovered ideas and images from the folk traditions of her Sussex childhood, to archival encounters with a nineteenth-century nurse-explorer, and her undergraduate training as a Kremlinologist. Her language is deeply rooted, as keenly aware of etymologies as of history. Shaped by myth, history and desire, the poems of ? The Iron Bridge ?are theatrical, fierce, music-infused.
