Description
Book SynopsisRelativism, the second poetry collection by Mary Ford Neal, a writer and academic from the West of Scotland, deals with themes of attachment, belonging, certainty, doubt, and our relationships to places, times, people, and ideas. Using different voices, and the lens of intimate relationships, the collection explores various stages of life (from youth to adulthood to older age) and states of self-knowledge (from confusion to enlightenment to doubt).
Trade Review'Brave and gentle; both Venutian and urgently animal [...] Mary Ford Neal shows us just what magic and mystery sustains within the residual.' Janette Ayachi; 'Relativism crackles with energy and humour. Emotionally direct, at times risky, these poems reach across generations and place to remind us of our shared humanity.' Miranda Pearson
