Forever Alive Fran Lock

A dramatic and enthralling new collection from acclaimed poet Fran Lock. Forever Alive abounds in strange survivals: some enchanted, some obscene. A she-wolf haunts the site of her extinction, a soldier is troubled by sleepless fear of the desert; a murdered woman visits her husband with whispered curses.

Here, nature extends both the threat and the promise of return. These are poems of long grudge and obscure supernatural vengeance. They are also poems about the love - of language, place, and people - that endures despite everything.
