The Ogre's Wife - Brossura

Howell, Anthony

 
9780856464225: The Ogre's Wife

Sinossi

Anthony Howell's first collection for several years moves in unusual directions. Guilt and society's victimization of those it punishes are among it subjects: it begins with poems concerned with the harm caused by anorexia and moves on to investigate the situation of offenders held in units for 'vulnerable' prisoners. The collection includes two longer poems: 'Ode to a Routine' chronicles the odyssey of one sentenced to commute across London, while the title poem extends a theme of dubious empathy explored by Browning in 'My Last Duchess'.
