Title: Ladylike
Description: Ladylike is Kate Lilleys second volume of poetry, much awaited after her 2002 debut Versary (Salt Publishing). She mines the areas of her scholarly specialisation the early modern period as well as contemporary popular culture and matches it with some of the twentieth centurys enduring interests such as psychoanalysis and the figure of Sigmund Freud. At all times Kate Lilley applies her sardonic humour and mischievous word play to make her dazzling poems.
