The collection fans out to explore bullying, money, trade, rats and sinkholes. A third section questions how humans relate to other species, speculates on a worm's opinion of people, the communal life of starlings. The book ends on ideas of exits and entrances, home, absences within a family and the fragility of care.Making the Wedding Dress makes many unexpected connections, moving from sauna to plum tree, to a luxury yacht cruising off Brighton beach.

Writer Robert Macfarlane described her second book Party (Leviathan 2000) as a very fine collection indeed. Jackie Wills' poems are witty, stylish and taboo busting.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Sewing isn't just one thing it can be patchwork, quilting, cross-stitch, darning, upcycling, sewing by hand or by machine. It can also be embroidery, as in the Bayeux Tapestry with its vivid scenes depicting the medieval world. A poem here celebrates a group of nineteenth century women who made a copy of that remarkable artefact: We have sewn ourselves into the woof and warp of cloth, thread by thread - from 'The Ladies of the Leek Embroidery Society Copy the Bayeux Tapestry' by Susan Utting The selection captures the quiet pleasures of all kinds of sewing. There are moments of thoughtful recollection: a mother who takes in evening piecework and a father sewing buttons onto his army uniform. What emerges is the powerful idea that sewing is a profoundly human activity one that connects us to each other, to our families and friends and also to the past. Poems by Jane Austen, Eavan Boland, Lucille Clifton, Fred D'Aguiar, Rita Dove, Robert Hamberger, Robert Seatter, Edna St Vincent Millay, Susan Utting and Jackie Wills. Cover illustration by Jessica Caldwell. Includes one poetry pamphlet, eco-envelope and co-ordinating bookmark with space for your own personal message.

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…
