In these poems by Anna Selby, human beings are always gravitating from earth and air towards water. It is as if the transcendence they seek (the desire to “leap\/hot out of your own life”) requires a physical departure from the very medium they inhabit. Selby’s ringing titles evoke not just a subject but a sensibility, and her versatile forms and deftly run-on lines very persuasively re-enact the thrill of sense experience and the shape of thought.’ Chandrahas Choudhury\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe First Time I Saw Your Winter \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Second Dance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhere I Come From\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDunwich Burning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Early Shift\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWashing My Father\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeath of the Fish March\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwimming in the Abandoned Quarry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIs it Too Late for the Bath\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn Intimate Dinner with Raised Voices \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Lost Art of Disappearing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecipes for Quiet Sons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Many Reasons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow Sundays Would Sound if People Described Them\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e52 Versions of Hope\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTimelapse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDuck Eggs and Keats Instead of Grace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Salt Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51771556987223,"sku":"9781844719518","price":8.33,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781844719518.jpg?v=1758728260","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-burning-9781844719518","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
