Summary

The UK debut of a celebrated American poet whose work is as lyrical as it is radical.

Ange Mlinko’s poetry pursues both the lyrical and the radical to an extent that leaves us simultaneously moved and impressed. Foxglovewise is complex but inviting, profound but wry. It is firmly contemporary while also being in lively conversation with deep histories: ‘Where do stargazers go in a city of light?’. Mlinko takes us from a Scottish cemetery to a mangrove in Florida via a supercell storm in Texas. Along the way, her use of form and rhyme is as light as it is enlightening as she probes our all-too-human nature and pays careful attention to the quiet marvels to be found by looking carefully at right where we happen to be.
