Icarus on Earth
Jane Griffiths's second collection re-imagines lives. Her poems are populated by people ranging from the invented to the mythological to the wholly real. Somewhere in between, the title-sequence recreates the life of Icarus as it might have been had he been born in modern suburban England. Through the voices of his father, his mother, his mildly inept biographer, and the girl-next-door, it explores the gap between desire and reality, and the consequences of trying to get across it. Icarus stands for the people in many of the poems, passionately concerned to test the limits of what is possible in many different kinds of flight, both literal and metaphorical. It is a book of elegies for lives not lived as well as actual lives.
Silent in Finisterre
None
Terrestrial Variations
Poems that respond to the sheer chanciness of life, with explorations of people and place, which, despite the threat of loss, delight at being in the world.
A Grip on Thin Air
In these intently observed poems, language becomes her flesh and blood, while the physical world is less than usually solid. House and fields are evanescent, as in paintings. She often uses images of make-do and makeshift. Speech is imagined as a string, love as a kite.

Little Silver
The recurrent themes of Little Silver are inheritance, loss, and the relationship between real and imagined lives. Moments of crisis prompt reflection on the stories we tell ourselves and on the sheer strangeness of existing in our bodies and in time.
Architectural Space and the Imagination
This book sheds light on the intimate relationship between built space and the mind, exploring the ways in which architecture inhabits and shapes both the memory and the imagination. Examining the role of the house, a recurrent, even haunting, image in art and literature from classical times to the present day, it includes new work by both leading scholars and early career academics, providing fresh insights into the spiritual, social, and imaginative significances of built space. Further, it reveals how engagement with both real and imagined architectural structures has long been a way of understanding the intangible workings of the mind itself.
Another Country
Jane Griffiths writes mysteriously resonant poems about home, exile and shifting frontiers in classically precise language. "Another Country" presents a selection from her first two collections, "A Grip on Thin Air" and "Icarus on Earth", as well as a whole collection of new work. Where the earlier books are shot through with a migrant's sense of estrangement, her new poems explore what it might mean to settle in a place. The central sequence 'Eclogue Over Merlin Street' highlights this changing perspective through a dialogue between two voices of an immigrant in London, one embracing her new life but the other still haunted by displacement. Many other poems echo this tension, caught between love of a place and the fear of losing it. Jane Griffiths celebrates the landscapes she lives in by observing and recording them, yet with a strong awareness that these places exist in and of themselves, regardless of her observation. Hers are poems that delight in being in the world, despite the threat of loss.
