Engaging her readers with lush vocabulary and spare, tightly controlled forms, Leyton's poems become a rich quest for identity, authenticity, and nature uncorrupted. Reaching gloriously from isolation and pain to connection with love, Leyton channels the wit of past feminists to create a manifesto for our time, an affirmation of what might be possible.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;","brand":"icehouse poetry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65419542495581,"sku":null,"price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/3893\/2573\/files\/9780864928863.jpg?v=1790251163","url":"https:\/\/shop.gazellebookservices.co.uk\/products\/9780864928863","provider":"Gazelle Book Services","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
