Description
Discover the profound depths of 'Low', a brand new collection by acclaimed British poet Chrissy Williams. This compelling trade paperback, published by Bloodaxe in 2021, takes readers on an intimate journey through the complexities of identity and the raw emotions surrounding loss. At the center of this evocative collection are poignant poems that grapple with the desolation of miscarriage, creating an essential dialogue on grief and healing. Through ingenious use of language and themes of comedy, improvisation, drag, and clowning, Williams artfully interrogates the power of humor in the landscape of trauma and transformation. 'Low' is not just a book of poetry; it's a thought-provoking, irreverent exploration of life's serious and trivial moments that challenges conventional perspectives. Chrissy Williams, whose first collection 'Bear' garnered critical acclaim, including recognition in The Telegraph's 50 Best Books of the Year, continues to showcase her unique voice and literary brilliance in this second full-length collection.

Description:
This new collection from one of Britain's most innovative poets is an exploration of identity in the face of loss. At its heart is a series of poems about the desolation of miscarriage. These poems try to understand the many different means we use to come closer to articulating, and avoiding, experience. Drawing on the language of comedy, improvisation, drag and clown, Low interrogates humour’s role in enacting the possibility of change. A thought-provoking, irreverent and challenging book, Low exemplifies Chrissy Williams' ability to find 'seriousness in the apparently trivial and ephemeral' (Poetry Review). Chrissy Williams' first collection Bear (Bloodaxe) was one of The Telegraph's 50 Best Books of the Year in 2017. She has also published several pamphlets, one of which was shortlisted for the Michael Marks Award. Low is her second full-length collection.
