Brenda Shaughnessy’s Liquid Flesh (Bloodaxe) gathers together poems from across her first five collections, as thrilling and unpredictable as any contemporary American poet. Writing about her work in the Boston Review, Richard Howard says that ‘when anything is as fresh as this diction, as free as these associations, as fraught as these passions, it is not descriptions or definitions which are wanted but the thing itself, the new words in new places, the necessary instigations’.Shaughnessy will be reading from Liquid Flesh and in conversation with Amy Key, whose second collection, Isn’t Forever , came out with Bloodaxe in 2018, and whose new book inspired by Joni Mitchell's Blue , is forthcoming in spring 2023.
