The Naming of Girls
£10.00
The Naming of Girls explores the names – Christian, catcalled or historic – given to women. It begins the roll call with wartime nicknames and reaches back to the big names of ancient myth. This collection treats each poem as an occasion and with each outing, the poems arrest with their invention, scope and risk.
