These poems examine both life and death, encompassing experiences, terrible and sublime, as in her Forward Prize-shortlisted poem, ‘My body tells me she’s filing for divorce’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe collection, divided into two sections, ‘After’ and ‘Before’, contrasts the ghost-train of diagnosis, its spooks and cobwebs waiting at every turn, with all that came before. Above all, these poems attest to the enduring power of a life lived in gratitude for love. Through remarkable and stunning metaphors, Bevis beautifully holds together the fact of mortality with the joy of being alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41593292750945,"sku":"9781781727553","price":9.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_26959146.jpg?v=1721386563","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781781727553-the-butterfly-house","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
