Books by Helen Farish

Second book from Farish, whose debut collection, Intimates (Cape, 2005), was shortlisted for the T.S. Eliot Prize and won the Forward Prize for Best First Collection. This is a thematic collection of poems exploring the lives and love of Chopin and French novelist George Sand.

Provocative and tender, passionate yet wary, the highly charged poems in Helen Farish's first collection testify to the complex nature of relationships with lovers, with family and with the self.
