Jo Shapcott

Of Mutability

Hay Festival 2011, 
The poet’s new collection won the Costa Book of the Year Award. In a series of poems that explore the nature of change – in the body and the natural world, and in the shifting relationships between people – Shapcott looks freshly but squarely at mortality.
