L'œuvre d'Elaine Feeney explore l'expérience humaine avec une honnêteté sans concession. Son écriture, qui englobe la poésie et la prose, se caractérise par une diction brute et percutante et un regard pénétrant sur des thèmes tels que la famille, la perte et la quête d'identité. Feeney mêle magistralement le passé et le présent, déterrant de profondes vérités émotionnelles avec une sensibilité originale et captivante. Sa voix littéraire est distinctive, trouvant un écho auprès des lecteurs qui apprécient sa capacité à capturer les complexités de la vie dans toute sa beauté austère.

The third collection from one of Ireland's freshest and most engaging young female poets.
Elaine Feeney brings her poetry to Harvill Secker and Vintage with this powerful, personal, fierce collection about women's lives, bodies, battles and triumphs. From a searing meditation on the experience and aftershocks of a sexual assault - written as a series of unflinching cantos - to poems of love, place and new beginnings, Feeney's voice is strong and clear, challenging and confessional, rooted in her west coast of Ireland heritage while speaking to and with women everywhere.
