One of Hull’s most important modern-day poets, Norah Hanson has been delighting readers for decades with her honest, entertaining and inventive writing. Whether reflecting on the past, through derelict landmarks and absent friends, confronting present-day ‘domestic dilemmas’ with wit and good-humour, or looking to the future through the eyes (and extraordinary energies) of her grandchildren,   Love Letters & Children's Drawings  is poetry at its very best – insightful, compelling, and essential.
