Overview
A definitive collection of poems by the major twentieth-century novelist and philosopher, newly discovered in the attic of Murdochs former home.While she is pre-eminent as one of the twentieth centurys great novelists and philosophers, Murdochs life as a poet has languished in the shadows. Yet throughout her life she wrote, revised and re-wrote a sizeable collection of poems; publishing some but keeping many private and - ultimately - shut in a chest in her attic.Their recent discovery marks a significant literary event. Ranging over nearly six decades, these searing, confessional poems balance craft with playfulness; psychological insight with Murdochs own personal feelings. As an autobiographical account, they are unlike anything else. They shine a new light on Iris Murdochs turbulent relationships with men and women, her decades-long marriage and extraordinary life.These radically honest poems are for anyone who have at one time or another gone soul-searching in the midst of heartbreak - and for those who have found solace in the quiet joys of friendship.
