Holding It Together by Christina Buckton

A collection of 54 lyric poems by award-winning Cambridge poet Christina Buckton, brought together in one volume for the first time.

“These generous, clear-eyed poems show an imagination in undiminished touch with the curiosity and eagerness of childhood. … This quality combines with an adult wisdom which looks without illusion at the whole of a life. Compassion, humour, and intelligence are expressed with supple craft; a voice of experience in which innocence retains its strength.” — Elizabeth Cook
