It brings together many of her most recognisable and celebrated themes, but distilled -- from minutely perfect descriptions of the natural world to startlingly witty encounters with aliens, from pressing political issues to myth and legend.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e By turns moving, playful and wise, the poems gathered in \u003ci\u003eDearly\u003c\/i\u003e are about absences and endings, ageing and retrospection, but also about gifts and renewals. They explore bodies and minds in flux, as well as the everyday objects and rituals that embed us in the present. Werewolves, sirens and dreams make their appearance, as do various forms of animal life and fragments of our damaged environment.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eDearly\u003c\/i\u003e is a pure Atwood delight, and long-term readers and new fans alike will treasure its insight, empathy and humour.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 'A new volume of poetry by the writer of wit and optimism . . .
