A new poetry collection by Margaret Atwood, entitled DEARLY, will be published on 10 November 2020. DEARLY is Atwood’s first collection in over a decade.
By turns moving, playful and wise, these poems are about absences and endings, ageing and retrospection, but also about gifts and renewals. They explore bodies and minds in transition, as well as the everyday objects and rituals that embed us in the present. Werewolves, sirens, aliens and dreams make their appearance, as do various forms of animal life and fragments of our damaged environment.
