Bone House New Collection 2021

Bone House is the new collection from Co. Down poet and ACNI Major Artist, Moyra Donaldson. The poems in Bone House centre around the powerful and sometimes troubled relations between mothers and daughters. They bring historical, contemporary personal and psychological perspectives to the subject, creating a contemporary narrative. They traverse themes of loss, duty, grief and joy, as well as exploring psychoanalytical accounts of motherhood. Described by poet Paula Meehan in the foreword as ‘ferocious and clear eyed’, this collection shines a light on how this most intimate of relationships is at the centre of so much of life. Delivery via Royal Mail is free for Ireland, UK and Europe.
