Salvation Jane by Greta Stoddart
Judges: "Honest, observant poems from a collection which is both wonderfully unsettling and deeply life-affirming."
At the heart of many of the poems in Salvation Jane lies an apprehension of things being lost or destroyed - whether a child or an illusion, faith or the very earth we live on. The world changes, too, when someone enters it. Greta Stoddart's poems of motherhood are intense double-edged celebrations; as grief has its consolations, so joy is rarely entire.
