Skylark

By Mélisande Fitzsimons

Skylark is a daring, polyphonic meditation on language, memory, and the strange music of modern history. M lisande Fitzsimons moves between myth and reportage, elegy and experiment, drawing new correspondences between the body, the state, and the stories we inherit. This is a collection of restless intelligence and deep compassion - where history speaks through hippos and coronations, through bombed cities and buried kin. Fitzsimons writes with wit, fury, and lyric precision, weaving voices that refuse containment and refuse to forget. There are no clear borders here - only fracture, chorus, and the wild persistence of speech itself.
