Description for The Sparkling Jewel of Naturism Paperback. Selima Hill is one of Britain's leading poets, the winner of the Whitbread Poetry Award (the forerunner of the Costa). The Sparkling Jewel of Naturism is her 15th book of poetry - her 12th from Bloodaxe - and comprises three sequences. Num Pages: 96 pages. BIC Classification: DCF. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 203 x 194 x 8. Weight in Grams: 136.
The Sparkling Jewel of Naturism brings together three seemingly unrelated poem sequences by 'this brilliant lyricist of human darkness' (Fiona Sampson). The poems in each spark off unexpected connections and surprises, despite their contrasting concerns: jealousy in 'Doormat' (being the object of someone else's jealousy), little girls in 'Happiness Is Just a Waste of Time', and married women in 'Blowfly'. Like all of Selima Hill's work, all three sequences in The Sparkling Jewel of Naturism chart 'extreme experience with a dazzling excess' (Deryn Rees-Jones), with startling humour and surprising combinations of homely and outlandish.

Reviews for The Sparkling Jewel of Naturism
Arguably the most distinctive truth teller to emerge in British poetry… Despite her thematic preoccupations, there’s nothing conscientious or worthy about Hill’s work. She is a flamboyant, exuberant writer who seems effortlessly to juggle her outrageous symbolic lexicon…using techniques of juxtaposition, interruption and symbolism to articulate narratives of the unconscious. Those narratives are the matter of universal, and universally recognisable, ... Read more
