Chimeras

Meer over het boek

Set against a backdrop that blends the ordinary with a post-apocalyptic landscape, Clare Welsh's work features a young speaker navigating her identity amidst a world filled with both fantastical creatures and stark realities. The poetry employs short lines and alliterative phrasing reminiscent of early English verse, weaving together a bestiary that includes swans, wolves, and Wind Horses. The exploration of self versus artifact culminates in evocative imagery, such as a "selfie next to the partially exposed bone," highlighting themes of existence and memory.
