Waterloo Press and Needlewriters present the launch of Excisions, by Clare Best.
An unusually clear and direct debut
collection. The poems speak of one life, but resound with universal themes of
love and passion, inheritance and physicality, loss and adaptation. Includes the acclaimed sequence Self-portrait without Breasts, inspired by the
poet's own journey through preventative double mastectomy.
An outstanding first collection. Clare Best
treads a sure path through intensity, complication and danger, and the
resulting poems question the very nature of change or loss.
