‘The Claim,’ from Jane Draycott’s recently published fifth collection, The Kingdom, has been selected by Carol Rumen’s as Poem of the Week in The Guardian.
Also in The Guardian, David Morley wrote that Jane’s work demonstrates, “a patient intelligence of practice, and concision of address, not only in every poem … but in the very philosophy of perception informing her poetics.” Of her previous collection, he wrote, “I’ve waited some time to read something this intelligent, this sensuous and this crystalline. In fact The Night Tree is the finest collection I’ve read for ages. What are you waiting for?”
