Animalian

A poetry collection by a writer who has been compared to the best poets of the last two centuries. Norah Pollard rings all the changes from despair to exaltation. She writes with astonishing honesty and clarity. Though she is the daughter of Seabiscuits famous jockey Red Pollard she is very much her own person. Her appreciation of nature empathetic understanding of others refusal to compromise and disgust with mediocrity and hypocrisy are a bracing tonic in a world where these qualities are in short supply.
