In  two previous collections, she has been feted as among the most  compelling poets to have emerged in recent years; now, in The World's  Two Smallest Humans, she is writing at her most captivating yet. These  finely tuned poems are the fruit of her upbringing in a musical family,  an affinity with the Classics, a fascination with the arc of time, and  an unflinching scrutiny of love and personal relationships. Born out of a  powerful sense of place, the poems navigate through a beguiling  sequence of interior and exterior landscapes, whether revisiting Ovid,  negotiating the perils of one composer's attempt to step into the shoes  of another or describing, from shifting perspectives, a young girl's  escape from suburban ennui. The book concludes with a moving arrangement  of pieces that explore the author's experience of IVF: poems written  with wry humour and with grace, which celebrate the mysteries of  conception alongside the sometimes surreal business of medical  intervention. The World's Two Smallest Humans is an unforgettable read.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57536454918518,"sku":"9780571284573","price":9.76,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_36343716.jpg?v=1774289028","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780571284573-the-worlds-two-smallest-humans","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
