British
poet Caroline Bird began her
literary career as something of a prodigy – her first collection of poems was
published when she was only 15. Since then, her career and her reputation have only
grown, verifying that the first collection was not a one-off. And she’s also
branched into performance poetry and writing for the theater.
What her
poetry is known for is its strength of language, and vivid, and often jarring,
use of words and metaphors. Reviewers often use the word “vigorous” to describe
her poems. Her latest collection, In
These Days of Prohibition, significantly adds to her reputation for her
use of language.
“Jarring”
is the right word to describe these poems.
