DescriptionSelected Poems by Sophie Hannah - A revised and updated second edition of the T.S. Eliot shortlisted author. Since publishing her first book, Sophie Hannah has been recognized as one of the most important poets writing in Britain. Chosen in 1999 by The Times as the 'New Writer to Watch' and by the Daily Telegraph as one of the 'Stars of the New Millenium', she has published five bestselling collections, and this is the only selection covering the breadth of her work. This revised edition now includes work from Hannah's most recent volume, Pessimism for Beginners, which was shortlisted for the T.S. Eliot Prize, as well as several new poems. "Hannah is among the best at comprehending in rhyming verse the indignity of having a body and the nobility of having a heart". (Guardian). "Shall I put it in captials? Sophie Hannah is a genius". (Poetry Review). "A wonderful Poet". (Observer). "Hannah's range is astonishn: most readers will come away having been changed or delighted". (Daily Telegraph). "A shrewd and accurate observer of the world around her, and her own life, she is often very funny". (Oldie). It is a revised and updated second edition of Sophie Hannah's poems. Author descriptionAs well as five collections of poetry, Sophie Hannah is the author of six internationally bestselling psychological thrillers, published in over twenty languages. A native of Manchester, she now lives with her husband and children in Cambridge, where she is a Fellow Commoner at Lucy Cavendish College. |
