description: With this third collection, Medbh McGuckian deepens her exploration of the tension between imaginative and quotidian experience in suburban Belfast. In poems that explore a woman’s intense inner life—within the body, within the home, within erotic and maternal relationships—she gracefully unhinges semantic structures and rational thought to create an emotionally charged and very personal language.
