Daughters

The poems in Daughters follow Poppi, a Greek woman, as she marries an English archaeologist and moves from Turkey to Canada. This first collection from Jane Munro won the McMillan Poetry Prize and was short-listed for the Pat Lowther Award.

“… with formal brilliance and panache … her poems are based on an aesthetic of abundance rather than austerity : they renounce the convention of alienation in favour of the high risks of making connections.”
— Jean Mallinson, Brick Books
