description: Nothing transforms our lives like parenthood. Kate Clanchy's intimate and daring sequence of poems follows the switchback ride of human emotions from conception through the first years of new life. Newborn is Clanchy's most powerful and accomplished book of poetry to date. - Clanchy is becoming the Carol Ann Duffy of her generation, with a reputation as one of the most accessible young contemporary poets. She is the recipient of various awards, including the Forward Prize for Best First Collection and the Saltire Prize for the Scottish First Book of the Year (both for Slattern), while Samarkand was shortlisted for the Forward Prize for Best Collection
