Small Change - Paperback

by Steph Ellen Feeney (Author)

Small Change by Steph Ellen Feeney is a radiant, unflinching collection that distils the seismic transformations of new motherhood into a sequence of poems both intimate and expansive. With lyrical clarity and fierce emotional intelligence, Feeney traces the blur of postnatal days, sleeplessness, bodily estrangement, rural isolation, small joys and submerged rage, crafting a poetics of contradiction, beauty and survival. The work is formally nimble, often fragmentary, and suffused with humour, candour and mythic resonance. What emerges is a document of maternal time in all its fractured, luminous detail: devotional, ambivalent, and defiantly alive.
