Böcker av Izzy Rhiannon Jones

A trilogy of poetic voices, encapsulating rage, angst, fearlessness and insistence on being heard. Each poet is poised on the edge of prominence, and brings her own vision of the world: how their elders have handed it on, and how they wish to see it remade. Becca shines light on the modern through a classical lens, focusing on 'dark goddesses' such as Inanna. She rages at senseless death-by-cop; but knows better than to "shout". Laura lobs sestinas at weapons of destruction: the silencing of women, reforming them into one's ideal, where controlling anything is better than controlling nothing. Izzy also writes about classical creatures: Anglo-Saxon monsters, Norse gods, or enraged statuary brought to life. She reminds us to be our true, unapologetic, murderous or sexy selves, in an earthy, steel-tipped set by a member of Generation "Snowflake".
