At home in the dark

'Awarded the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize 2002 'Greta Stoddart's "At Home in the Dark" is a powerful first collection that sheds light not only on the darkness of home but also reveals much that's unsettling about the further afield. With their clear, percussive rhythms and their dramatic poise and timing, these poems dare and lure the reader to follow her prescient, unflinching gaze' - Jamie McKendrick.
