<p>In this remarkable debut pamphlet, Lucy Holme considers the personal and political, the intimate and universal, the meditative and mythic. Temporary Stasis is testament to Holme's remarkable ability to balance, in the space of a single page, the intimate and the epic. This is a collection that will delight and impress, encourage and challenge, and should be the envy of every writer. These poems are magnificent in execution, with a deftness of language and sensibility that marks Holme's work as masterfully crafted and wholly original.</p>
