Tintinnabulum | Author: Judith Beveridge

The poems in Tintinnabulum focus on animals, people, and places, though you could say that the real subject matter is the power of poetry, since the book explores how metaphor, simile, imagery and sound can reveal connections that are imaginative, revelatory and sometimes threatening.

There is a range of styles, lyrical, dramatic and narrative, which build on the achievements of poems in Beveridge's previous collections. There is also an emotional range to the poems: some poems are joyous, celebratory, ecstatic - others humorous, elegiac, nostalgic - but the overall feeling is of the joy and richness of language.

Judith Beveridge is the author of seven previous collections of poetry, most recently Sun Music: New and Selected Poems, which won the 2019 Prime Minister's Prize for Poetry.
