Stranger, Baby Av Emily Berry

<p>The powerful new collection from award-winning poet, Emily Berry. <br><br>Emily Berry’s <i>Dear Boy</i> was described as a ‘blazing debut’, winning the Forward Prize for Best First Collection in 2013. <i>Stranger, Baby</i>, its follow-up, is marked by the same sense of fantasy and play, estrangement and edgy humour for which she has become known. But these poems delve deeper again, in their off-kilter and often painful encounter with childhood loss. This is a book of mourning, recrimination, exhilaration and ‘oceanic feeling’: ''A meditation on a want that can never be answered.''</p>
