Hannah Copley Livres

Exploring the complex history of the female body, the poems delve into the hidden narratives behind scientific advancements. Copley addresses the exploitation of enslaved women and the silent stories of those in mother and baby homes, blending personal and historical legacies with precision and sensitivity. This collection stands out not only for its feminist themes but also for its exceptional poetic craftsmanship, marking it as a remarkable debut.

A lyrical biography of a bird and a fragmented study of a flawed and mutable creature bearing its name, Hannah Copley's Lapwing migrates across voices and blurs the divide between bird and human, self and other to explore restlessness, addiction, and ecological and personal grief.
