SHORTLISTED FOR THE RATHBONES FOLIO PRIZESHORTLISTED FOR THE T. S. ELIOT PRIZEThe poems in Ephemeron deal with the shortlived and transitory whether its the brief, urgent lives of the first section, Insect Love Songs, the abrupt, anguished, physical and emotional changes during secondary school, as remembered in BoardingSchool Tales, or parentings daybyday shifts through love and fear, hurt and healing, in Daughter Mother.The long central section, Translations from the Pasipha, gathers these themes together in a blistering, unforgettable retelling of the Greek myth of the Minotaur, as seen from the point of view of the bullchilds mother the betrayed and violated Pasipha. The familiar legend of the dashing male hero slaying the monster in the labyrinth is transformed here into a story of ordinary people caught up in an extraordinary cycle of violence, power and the abuse of power. At the centre lies Pasipha calling for her son They took him away from me/and they killed him in the dark, for years.Telling uncomfortable truths, going deep into male and female drives and desires, our most tender and vulnerable places, and speaking of them in frank, unshrinking ways these poems are afraid, certainly, but also beautiful, resolute and brave.
