This Poor Book
This Poor Book | By Fanny Howe
In ‘This Poor Book’, completed just before her death, Howe has gathered a selection of poems and excerpts from the last thirty years, including new and revised poems, and has arranged them into an astonishing singular poem.
Howe interrogates the contradiction and violence of the twenty-first century, the misbegotten experiences that have given rise to a culture of authority and adulthood rather than one of innocence and childhood.
