Claire Gaskin
In her second major collection, Claire Gaskin dismantles language to explore the
emotional and intellectual integrity of experience and liberates teh power of imagery in moments of pure surprise.
Spare yet expressive, playful yet wise, Paperweight celebrates the visceral power of poetry and its connection to the body, personal history, and the emergence of the unconscious in us all.
‘Gaskin blends plain diction with perverse metaphor and fateful enjambment- images accumulate then then out, like a tide. One line can be heartbreaking as a dream; the next will undermine the language of hypocrisy, violence or moralism.’ Bonny Cassidy
