Examining how trauma becomes a part of the language we use, Scott takes us back to our roots: childhood incidents, the violence our scars betray, forgotten forebears and histories. The hungers of sexual encounters are underscored by the risks that threaten when we give ourselves to or accept another. But the poems celebrate joy and tenderness, too, as in a sequence re-imagining the love poetry of Verlaine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe collection crescendos to Scott's tour de force, \u003cem\u003eOh My Soho!\u003c\/em\u003e, where a night stroll under the street lamps of Soho Square becomes a search for true lineage, a reclamation of stolen ancestors, hope for healing, and, above all, the finding of our truest selves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47471582511340,"sku":"9780571338917","price":32.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780571338917-soho.jpg?v=1775247382"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/richard-scott.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
