by Selima Hill (Author)
Selima Hill's poetry has been called wanton, wildly imaginative, tender, intelligent, dangerous, defiant, subversive and startling. All these qualities are strongly present throughout Gloria, a comprehensive selection drawn from ten formally diverse and thematically unified collections, each offering wild variations on her abiding themes: women's identities, love and loss, repression and abuse, family conflict and mental illness, men, animals and human civilisation. Gloria covers all Selima Hill's books from Saying Hello at the Station (1984) to Red Roses (2006), and was published at the same time as a separate, new collection, The Hat (2008).
Selima Hill was awarded the The King's Gold Medal for Poetry 2022 on the basis of her body of work, with special recognition for her retrospective Gloria: Selected Poems.
