But & Though

Hawkey writes with serious ambition : these poems are daring in their formal organisation and their political intellect . There is also a real humour here, an ironic, knowing sensibility that never gets in the way of the poems'' emotional contents . Hawkey tackles difficult subjects - alcohol dependency, deprivation, and intergenerational trauma - with admirable lucidity , attuned to both their tragedy and comedy
