Citadel by Martha Sprackland Kathleen Jamie Scots and continental traditions'So much fire comes to life in snapshots on these pages The images are electrifying. Something marvellous occurs: a domestic scene becomes a blow to the head enough to knock the earth from its orbit. I love this book.' Ilya Kaminsky 'Martha Sprackland's poems are virtuosic in their timing, texture, and detailed evocation. From poems of the hospital to poems of the shore, this is a fierce and fresh debut that rings with courage and intelligence.
