Marriage

A tender and evocative exploration of marriage set against an ebullient portrayal of the shenanigans of the hare.Marriage consists of two sequences of poems. The first is loosely based on the relationship between Pierre Bonnard and his muse and model, who is also his wife. The second sequence, Lepus, extends an interest in the hare as trickster, traceable elsewhere in David Harsent’s work, and most recently in ‘The Woman and the Hare’.
