'A stone is lobbed in '84,

hangs like a star over Orgreave.

Welcome to Sheffield. Border-land, our town of miracles...'

- 'Scab'

From the clash between striking miners and police to the delicate conflicts in personal relationships, Helen Mort's stunning debut is marked by distance and division. Named for a street in Sheffield, this is a collection that cherishes specificity- the particularity of names; the reflections the world throws back at us; the precise moment of a realisation. Distinctive and assured, these poems show us how, at the site of conflict, a moment of reconciliation can be born.

Reviews for Division Street

a pint for the ghost: 'An exciting collection from a writer who knows the value of the past, and how to set it against the present to illuminate them both' - Ian McMillan
