AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Eurydice Speaks is a linked sonnet series echoing the voices that emerge from the Underworld. A contemporary Eurydice uses the power of language to process her constraints and losses, reflected in strategies of transformation that focus on the dynamic between iteration and change. Fragments of being and transitory insights, like broken pieces of mirror within the architecture of the sonnet, reflect and distort, to deepen, intensify and reinforce connectivity. This collection illustrates the evocative, associative and allusive power in the methods of poetry, to know and be known, to feel and be felt, to gather and cohere.' (Publication summary)

— Appears in: Mascara Literary Review , no. 28 2022;

— Review of Eurydice Speaks Claire Gaskin , 2021 selected work poetry

'When I read Eurydice Speaks, what struck me the most (among many other things) was voice, and how it plays out – skilfully – on so many levels. From the outset, there’s the word ‘speaks’ in the title of only two words – two words with so much power (which I didn’t realise until deep into the collection). But, first, I want to delve into Claire Gaskin’s writing style – her voice –  and how she dismantles and wields language to evoke emotion.' (Introduction)
