Longship

Winner of The Melita Hume Poetry Prize 2018. Longship blurs the boundaries between Norse mythology and the modern world. It assumes the voices of the Gods and Goddesses, and weaves them through stories of love, death and nature today. It is set in the now, but calls back to your older self and communications with nature, ‘feeling the night / come on like a bruise, a gentle harm.’ Longship is a book of craft, beauty and vision.
