À propos de ce contenu audio

Brought to you by Penguin.

Dearly: Poems is written and read by Margaret Atwood.

The collection of a lifetime from the bestselling novelist and poet
By turns moving, playful and wise, the poems gathered in Dearly are about absences and endings, ageing and retrospection, but also about gifts and renewals. They explore bodies and minds in transition, as well as the everyday objects and rituals that embed us in the present. Werewolves, sirens and dreams make their appearance, as do various forms of animal life and fragments of our damaged environment.

Before she became one of the world’s most important and loved novelists, Atwood was a poet. Dearly is her first collection in over a decade. It brings together many of her most recognisable and celebrated themes, but distilled – from minutely perfect descriptions of the natural world to startlingly witty encounters with aliens, from pressing political issues to myth and legend. It is a pure Atwood delight, and long-term readers and new fans alike will treasure its insight, empathy and humour.

    Here we see Atwood at the height of her poetic powers
    A poignant yet playful collection of verse, about endings and departures, it is sliced with clever, sharp humour
    This collection of poems is a reckoning with the past that comes from a place of wisdom and control . . . You can almost hear her speaking voice, see the twinkle in her eye . . . wonderfully observed
    Atwood's first poetry collection in over a decade is intimate, lingering delicately between the human and the natural, and this world and the next
    She's become world famous for The Handmaid's Tale, and jointly won the 2019 Booker Prize for The Testaments, but Canadian author Margaret Atwood was once better known as a poet . . . this new volume brings together some of her favourite themes, from zombies, werewolves and aliens, to the passage of time and the most pressing political issues of the day
    She turns her eye to the past, to nature, to fantasy, to current affairs, all with the calm eye of a writer who has nothing to prove (Maria Crawford)
    Atwood is surely one of our planet's most priceless commodities
    Margaret Atwood has always been a poet; her poetry collections make visible the taproot of the wry wise metaphysic that runs through her fiction and essays, and in a precarious time her new collection, Dearly, is a source of uncompromising elemental warmth (Ali Smith)
    I finished this collection deeply impressed by Atwood's capacity for powerful, lyric description (Rebecca Tamás)
    A new volume of poetry by the writer of wit and optimism . . . Just when we needed her most
