Surge, the award-winning debut poetry collection from Michelle Whittaker, ruminates on how specific memories survive over a lifespan. Through haunting recollections with a powerful momentum, the poems recall vividly a suddenness of the uncontrollable physical and psychological disturbances as seen through loss and recovery. The lyrical narrative threads in Surge explore conversations between authority and disillusionment of human nature, while asking what we as humans might learn about how to heal - from the ecology of nature or other species. Surge was named Finalist in the 2018 Next Generation Indie Book Awards. ¿
