Proof (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780995353879)

From the opening poem of Maggie Shapley's first collection Proof, we know we are in the company of a thoughtful, sometimes restless, poet. Here, in explorations of childhood and family, memory and loss, belonging and dislocation, we find every word conveying a powerful sense of lived encounters and experience. This is poetry characterised by close observation, restrained wit and a fine precision of language
