'Howe is peerless and I look at her work, happily, with awe' OCEAN VUONG
A landmark new collection from T. S. Eliot Prize-winner Sarah Howe, navigating the complex inheritance of family, language and colonialism - and forming a portrait of a mother in search of her past and herself.
'Unearthed in a clear-out, a picture calendar she's kept
- hoarding, I've learnt, is a mark of the emigrant -
across continents and time.'
So begins Sarah Howe's extraordinary new collection, returning to the riddle of belonging she explored in her award-winning debut, Loop of Jade. At the heart is her own mother's clouded past: abandoned as a baby and taken in, at the turbulent dawn of Communist China, by a woman with her own hidden motives.
Now a mother herself, Howe finds herself re-examining this unreliable narrative with fresh sight. Sifting through her own history, the poet asks, how can a new generation transform a shattered inheritance? And what is lost and gained in the pursuit?
Foretokens is a monumental work of survival and creation, turning over what is left behind as it strikes out towards astonishing new vistas.
'Foretokens arrives . . . as a kind of literary event . . . It's a work of supreme concision. Not a word is out of place' Lucy Thynne, Telegraph
