Kitty Donnelly
In Dangerous Hours
‘In Dangerous Hours’ draws on a combination of personal experience and historical & fictional characters to explore the human condition. In her boat house, Rebecca De Winter considers walking out of her life. In Paris, Zelda Fitzgerald breaks down. A “high & hypervigilant” Laura Palmer writes her diary before heading to the railway carriage and her fate.
In chaotic & dangerous times the redeeming power of nature is called upon more than ever.

“…these poems have a rare and precious electric charge that separates poems of true artistry from those that are merely well crafted.” ~ Anna Saunders
Kitty Donnelly
The Impact of Limited Time
The poems in this prize-winning collection explore how the past exists alongside the present, from childhood to childbirth and from death to rebirth.
Some of these poems create a voice for those who have not been able to speak for themselves in history (including the housemaid of the baker on Pudding Lane and Pre-Raphaelite muse Lizzie Siddal).
From an invasive hospital procedure to the loneliness of single-parenthood, these narrators find beauty in the moment and within the context of their limited time.
