'Here we see Atwood at the height of her poetic powers' - New York Times Book Review

'A poignant yet playful collection of verse, about endings and departures, it is sliced with clever, sharp humour' - Daily Telegraph

'This collection of poems is a reckoning with the past that comes from a place of wisdom and control... You can almost hear her speaking voice, see the twinkle in her eye... wonderfully observed' - Observer

'Atwood's first poetry collection in over a decade is intimate, lingering delicately between the human and the natural, and this world and the next' - New Statesman

'She's become world famous for The Handmaid's Tale, and jointly won the 2019 Booker Prize for The Testaments, but Canadian author Margaret Atwood was once better known as a poet... this new volume brings together some of her favourite themes, from zombies, werewolves and aliens, to the passage of time and the most pressing political issues of the day' - Evening Standard
