Lucie Brock-Broido's poetry conjures what is half-known, at the limits of experience, in language fierce with a living glitter. The familiar world becomes richly disquieting, edged with danger: mute conjoined twins creating a violent secret world; Emily Dickinson's enigmatic letters to her 'Master'; a self-portrait of the poet 'with Her Hair on Fire'. "Soul Keeping Company" introduces Brock-Broido's poetry to British readers with generous selections from her three acclaimed collections: "A Hunger", "The Master Letters and Trouble in Mind".

Industry Reviews

Brock-Broido's talismanic words open into a magical territory of 'Domestic Mysticism'... Something in Brock-Broido likes stealth, toxicity, wildness, neon... The poems leap off the page. Helen Vendler, THE NEW YORKER This is a poet who cultivates elegant nerviness and a riveting poetic clairvoyance... In Trouble in Mind we witness the imagination's virtuosity... distilled in the alembic of the poet's radical, brilliantly inventive diction. LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK REVIEW
