Description
Lucie Brock-Broido’s poetry conjures what is half-known, at the limits of experience, in language fierce with a living glitter. The familiar world becomes richly disquieting, edged with danger: mute conjoined twins creating a violent secret world; Emily Dickinson’s enigmatic letters to her ‘Master’; a self-portrait of the poet ‘with Her Hair on Fire’. “Soul Keeping Company” introduces Brock-Broido’s poetry to British readers with generous selections from her three acclaimed collections: “A Hunger”, “The Master Letters and Trouble in Mind”.
