Books by Pauline Stainer

Ninth collection from a poet known for her evocations of the sacred, presences, hauntings and the spirit incarnate in every part of the living world.

As in all her books, the luminous poems of Pauline Stainer's eighth collection Tiger Facing the Mist are minimal but highly charged - with presences and hauntings, sensing the spirit incarnate in every part of the living world.

Pauline Stainer is a poet 'working at the margins of the sacred', conveying sensations 'with an economy of means that is breathtaking... her poems are not merely artefacts, they have an organic life of their own' (John Burnside). The Lady & the Hare brings together poetry of rare luminosity from Pauline Stainer's five previous books, together with new poems, all inhabiting an imaginative borderland inspired by her 'visceral Muse'.
