Title: Black Country
Description: Liz Berry takes us home: to Wrens Nest, Gosty Hill, Bilston; to the summer where she first learned to talk; to the woods where the secrets are hidden. A parade of riotous characters abound: the Bone Orchard Wench, the Lady Rotcatcher, Carmella 'Ower Lady of the Hairdresser'. But her poems also transport us into other, different worlds of the poet's imagination: the memories and magic of childhood to the dawning of adulthood and the dark, sweet mysteries of love and sexuality.
