Jessamine O’Connor’s new collection of poems “Silver Spoon” has just been published by Salmon Poetry.
The book also features original paintings by artist Helen Chantrell, including the stunning cover. The work includes poems selected from the last ten years of writing, and crosses terrain of all sorts, from love and family to death and violence – and beyond.
As poet and editor Neil Young writes of this collection in his preface:
“She’s a writer of insatiable observation, whose watchfulness of norms of existence – in the living home, the street, the doorways, the fields, her native heath, up a chimney, in a dog’s glance – often lays bare its abnormality, or urges us on to revisualise the familiar… Innocence and menace interchange; fear and wonder collide. All this expressed, as is her knack, with unmistakable lyricism and empathy.”
