Three Poems Av Hannah Sullivan

<p><b>WINNER OF THE 2018 T S ELIOT PRIZE FOR POETRY</b><br><br>Hannah Sullivan¿s debut collection is a revelation ¿ three long poems of fresh ambition, intensity and substance. Though each poem stands apart, their inventive and looping encounters make for a compelling unity. ¿You, Very Young in New York¿ captures a great American city, in all its alluring detail. It is a wry and tender study of romantic possibility, disappointment, and the obduracy of innocence. ¿Repeat until Time'' begins with a move to California and unfolds into an essay on repetition and returning home, at once personal and philosophical. ¿The Sandpit after Rain¿ explores the birth of a child and the loss of a father with exacting clarity. <br><br>In <i>Three Poems</i>, readers will experience Sullivan''s work with the same exhilaration as they might the great modernising poems of Eliot and Pound, but with the unique perspective of a brilliant new female voice.</p>
