Description
No Hiding Place is the début collection from a highly original young Scottish poet whose influences range from detective stories and fairy-tales – with their battles between good and evil – to the films of Marilyn Monroe and Kay Kendall. Tracey Herd’s title-poem takes the style of a 1950s film noir, with echoes of Raymond Chandler, pointing up the harsh sense pervading many of her poems that there is no hiding place from death, God and the Day of Judgement. Shortlisted for the Forward Prize for Best First Collection
