Selected Poems by Colette Bryce Summer Special Commendation
Poetry Book Society Special Commendation Summer 2017
Selected Poems draws together the best of Colette Bryce's highly acclaimed and prize-winning collections; including The Heel of Bernadette (2000), winner of the Aldeburgh Prize, The Full Indian Rope Trick (2004), short-listed for the T. S. Eliot Prize and The Whole & Rain-domed Universe, shortlisted for the Forward Prize and winner of the Ewart-Biggs Prize.
Moving from the melodic to the political, from the humorous to the nostalgic, Bryce's poetry explores home, escape, family and childhood. Her Selected Poems is a perfect compilation of her most impressive work and the perfect introduction to one of poetry's most lyrical voices.
