Here we see Atwood at the height of her poetic powers -- Emilia Phillips * New York Times Book Review * A poignant yet playful collection of verse, about endings and departures, it is sliced with clever, sharp humour -- Sonia Haria * Daily Telegraph * This collection of poems is a reckoning with the past that comes from a place of wisdom and control . . . You can almost hear her speaking voice, see the twinkle in her eye . . . wonderfully observed -- Kate Kellaway * Observer * Atwood's first poetry collection in over a decade is intimate, lingering delicately between the human and the natural, and this world and the next * New Statesman * She's become world famous for The Handmaid's Tale, and jointly won the 2019 Booker Prize for The Testaments, but Canadian author Margaret Atwood was once better known as a poet . . . this new volume brings together some of her favourite themes, from zombies, werewolves and aliens, to the passage of time and the most pressing political issues of the day * Evening Standard *
