These intimate, visceral and often wickedly funny poems journey through the darker days of new parenthood, teasing out the anxieties which plague us when night falls.
Violence against women, the destruction of our environment, the poisons and pitfalls of 21st-century living are explored here in poems by turns lyrical and earthy, yearning and angry. They mine gold from the darkness and seek luminescence in the deepest oceans.
Pit Lullabies
is Jessica Traynor’s third collection, following
Liffey Swim
(2014) and
The Quick
(2019) from Ireland’s Dedalus Press, and is a Poetry Book Society Recommendation. It was named as one of the 'The best new poetry of 2022' in the
Irish Times
