The Small Manoeuvres Av Kathy Pimlott

<p>Pimlott is my favourite<em> flâneuse</em>, conjuring place like no one else, with an immaculate eye for the juicy, telling detail. In these clear-sighted poems she confronts aging and lockdowns, both bringing a world: ‘wilder and straitened / like the bins.’ I love Pimlott’s cast of memorable characters; her tinder-dry wit; her hard-won knowledge that: ‘what matters now is grace on a wire, enough sleep.’ - Clare Pollard</p><p></p>
