Characterised by its warmth, wisdom and wit, Norah Hanson''s poetry has earned her thousands of devoted readers over the past three decades. With not a word wasted, the poet takes in the landmarks both of her native Hull and life itself, finding joy in the company of family and friends – but also in unhooking clasps, undoing buttons and donning pyjamas in an empty house (albeit one in which chores are never quite finished). In one perfectly-staged scene after another, love and beauty rub shoulders with tragedy and loss, while eighty years of history – an "era" in the truest sense – happen all at once, childhood and retirement walking hand-in-hand together across the page.
