About
Jane Clarke's Coracle explores what it means to care for each other and the natural world in the midst of social and environmental jeopardy. With a timeless lyricism her poems attend to lives, language and landscape, her finely observed, distilled and intimate poems reflect on our kinship with all living things. The coracle, a small, simple boat used from antiquity to the present day symbolises our shared vulnerability and resilience. Heart-stirring and wise, this collection – her fourth – faces the reality of loss while celebrating acts of restoration that inspire hope.
Jane Clarke's previous collection, A Change in the Air (2023), was shortlisted for the T.S. Eliot Prize, the Forward Prize for Best Collection and for Ireland's Farmgate Café National Poetry Award, as well as being longlisted for the Laurel Prize.
