"Portraits of Drowning" is a collection of poetry by Madeleine Dale that explores the connection between beauty and mortality. The book is centered around the drowning of Percy Bysshe Shelley and is divided into three sections, with poems about Shelley beginning each section. The poems also touch on themes of colonialism, climate change, and the relationship between humans and other species. Dale's use of water imagery and allusions to female qualities adds depth to the collection. However, some critics argue that the allusive nature of the poetry can sometimes overshadow its emotional impact. [Extracted from the article] |
