“Bonnie Hancell is the most extraordinary writer. Her poems are complex miracles of delicacy and devastating frankness. The body here is a hostel, a wound, a window, ‘lilac against / the black rope’, ‘an ouroboros of Spit and Skin’, ‘a small moon in some creep’s cellar’, ‘an armchair on fire in the middle of spring’. But the body in these poems is also a site of absolute protest and a place for poetic epiphany. To read these poems is to see beneath the skin of life itself and to come face to face with the savage truths of our very humanity.” (Richard Scott)Further reading:
