Böcker av Jacqueline Saphra

Velvel's Violin, a moving and political fifth collection by TS Eliot Prize-shortlisted poet Jacqueline Saphra, places us on the shifting ground between past and present. Through missing histories of the Jewish diaspora, it is a call for empathy and a warning where the legacy of the Holocaust echoes current narratives of displacement and migration.

One Hundred Lockdown Sonnets by Jacqueline Saphra is a poetic journal that chronicles the personal and political upheavals and tragedies of the Coronavirus pandemic, this sequence of sonnets charts the dislocated, frightening and at times uplifting experience of one hundred days of lockdown. Written as a daily sonnet throughout the first lockdown, from 23rd March 2020, Saphra's candid and revealing sequence is a unique record of strange and unparalleled days.
