The Kingdom

By Jane Draycott

A world we know, altered by prismatic lyricism. Jane Draycott's fifth collection, The Kingdom, offers a skewed yet loving attention to place and our moment, opening the world afresh. Here are England's towns and countryside, roads and ports, and poems that consider art in a time of plague by way of meditation on Titian, Apollinaire, and Derek Jarman.

This collection is for readers of contemporary poetry who appreciate themes of nature, memory, and transformation. Draycott's distinctive voice evokes melancholy, hope, and wonder, inviting readers to reflect on the relationship between the past and present, and to find meaning in a world altered by loss and change. Discover the kingdom within.
