Synopses & Reviews
WINNER OF THE CRASHAW PRIZE 2008. Abi Curtis's first collection, Unexpected Weather, makes the familiar extraordinary, and the supernatural everyday. In poems about animals and clouds, scientists and circus performers, about love and bean-pods, about bruises and myths and the moments before death, her deft use and playful subversions of form give her verse an exquisite poise between gravity and lightness.
