The Hills of Holland - Poems (Paperback, 1st ed)


Esther Schor's poems live where the poet who must choose-rhyme and rhythm; the wayward fortunes of travel, art and myth - meets the given of everyday life: children and comets, punchlines and snow. In her formal sequence, "Cumbria", enduring ruins and rocks of the Lake District tell us our own frailty; they speak of 'Death/ how it comes and goes, how a cry/ becomes speech, turns to a whisper'. In the title poem, two narrators take us to Sumatra in the late 18th century. "The Hills of Holland" is a truly ambitious work by an extremely talented writer.
