A collection of poems both old and new, spanning a career of ground-breaking writing. Dearly gave us Atwood's first new poetry collection in over a decade; Paper Boat not only provides us with new wise, playful and thought stirring poems, but also for the first time collects a lifetime's worth of older poems in one place.

*A Times Literary Supplement and Financial Times Book of the Year 2024*

An extraordinary career-spanning collection from one of the most revered poets and storytellers of our age


Tracing the legacy of Margaret Atwood - a writer who has fundamentally shaped our contemporary literary landscapes - Paper Boat assembles Atwood's most vital poems in one essential volume.

In pieces that are at once brilliant, beautiful and hyper-imagined, Atwood gives voices to remarkably drawn characters - mythological figures, animals and everyday people - all of whom have something to say about what it means to live in a world as strange as our own. 'How can one live with such a heart?' Atwood asks, casting her singular spell upon the reader, and ferrying us through life, death and whatever comes next. Walking the tightrope between reality and fantasy as only she can, Atwood's journey through poetry illuminates our most innate joys and sorrows, desires and fears.

Spanning six decades of work - from her earliest beginnings to brand new poems - this volume charts the evolution of one of our most iconic and necessary authors.

'We should regard Atwood as a poet first and foremost - just one who happens to be a highly regarded novelist' Sunday Herald
