The collection of a lifetime from the bestselling novelist, poet -- and
cultural phenomenon Before she became one of the world's most important
and loved novelists, Margaret Atwood was a poet. Dearly is her first
collection in over a decade. It brings together many of her most
recognisable and celebrated themes, but distilled -- from minutely
perfect descriptions of the natural world to startlingly witty
encounters with aliens, from pressing political issues to myth and
legend.
By turns moving, playful and wise, the poems gathered
in Dearly are about absences and endings, ageing and retrospection, but
also about gifts and renewals. They explore bodies and minds in flux, as
well as the everyday objects and rituals that embed us in the present.
Werewolves, sirens and dreams make their appearance, as do various forms
of animal life and fragments of our damaged environment.
Dearly is a pure Atwood delight, and long-term readers and new fans alike will treasure its insight, empathy and humour.
