In Galatea, her first collection, Challenger casts a poet's sensitive eye across the hours of a tumultuous century to create startling poems whose voice - resolute, compassionate, original - both celebrates and mourns the tensions of human nature. Drawing her themes from the Pygmalion myth, Challenger portrays her subjects in trembling poise between action and inaction, consummation and defeat.

Melanie Challenger’s poems are engaged with the human condition, the slog of our bodies, the world we live in now – while all the time listening to other, more ancient voices. Her language is rich, dense, mosaiced – a post-feminist H.D. A very exciting debut.
