Your Retreating Shadow
Broken Sleep Books (2022) Rochelle Roberts' Your Retreating Shadow sees the poet move between the real and unreal world, watching ghosts 'through a celestial mirror' while flowers of the afterlife sprout 'between the floorboards'. Roberts shares her melancholy and existential bewilderment with self-taught rhythms and shapes, and an inner richness that comes from the cruelty of only having one world, when one world is not enough.
