Lyonesse
The submerged land of Lyonesse was once part of Cornwall, according to myth, standing for a lost paradise in Arthurian legend, but becomes an emblem of human frailty in the face of climate change in Penelope Shuttle's new poems. The second part of the book, New Lamps for Old, is a collection of poems searching for meaning in life after bereavement.
Selected Poems, 1980-1996
This is a selection from English poet Penelope Shuttle's six books of poetry--all published by Oxford--beginning with THE ORCHARD UPSTAIRS in 1980. The selection was made by the author herself, showing her passionate awareness of the many ways--sacred and profane, comic, sensuous and joyful--in which we sustain ourselves through poetry.

Sandgrain and Hourglass
"Sandgrain and Hourglass", charts a variety of transactions between poet-self and wound, between wound and beast.
Redgrove's Wife
Penelope Shuttle's latest collection, "Redgrove's Wife", is a book of lament and celebration. Its focus is the life and death of her husband, the poet Peter Redgrove, coupled with the loss of her father. Here, grief, depression and ageing are confronted with painful directness, but transformed into life-affirming and redemptive poetry. Other poems written over the same five-year period are inspired by a wide variety of subjects, from Cornish history and landscape to time, weather, spiders and postal regulations. Some draw on myth and dream to reinvent reality, while others take surprising liberties with language itself. Redgrove's Wife offers an extraordinary range of different kinds of poet...
Heath
Criss-crossed with desire-lines and flight paths, Penelope Shuttle and John Greening's 'Heath' is a wild chorus of poems writen in call and response across Hounslow Heath. Through bramble, furze and over wild tracks, we explore the run-out grooves of a rapidly vanishing edgeland that may soon go under the tarmac of the proposed third runway at Heathrow.
A Leaf Out of His Book
Penelope Shuttle explores the processes of love in all its manifestations. Here, she expresses love in time, and records the changes it effects in the self and the thing loved.
Project Boast
"Most men prefer a self-deprecating woman." Generations of disapproval install beliefs, mindsets and habits so rigid that they are hard to break. Project Boast brings together 29 contemporary women poets who are speaking out, registering the straitjacket they have had to wear and celebrating the emerging possibility of change.
