From first to last, Voices of the Benares is a moving tribute to the men, women and children who were lost when the liner was torpedoed. Pauline Rowe has drawn a deeply felt sequence of poems – part story, part memorial from her engagement with this tragedy. “The seas does not speak/ but each century is a breath” she writes. Like her collection, this seems to me both beautiful and true.”
Horatio Clare
Pauline Rowe’s beautiful poems mix memory, language and love in a kind of alchemy that turns the pages gold.”
Ian McMillan
The Weight of Snow (Maytree Press) won the 2021 Saboteur Award for best poetry pamphlet. The poems tell the story of how the accidental death of a child leads to generations of loss and grief.
