Summary

Dante Alighieri's 'The Divine Comedy: Inferno, Purgatorio, Paradiso' is a masterpiece of medieval literature, depicting the author's imaginative journey through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. The work is renowned for its intricate allegorical narrative, vivid descriptions of punishment and redemption, and complex moral and theological themes. The three parts of the Divine Comedy offer readers a profound exploration of the nature of sin, repentance, and the ultimate path to salvation. Dante Alighieri, a prominent Italian poet and philosopher of the late Middle Ages, was inspired to write The Divine Comedy as a means of expressing his religious beliefs and political views. His use of vernacular Italian was revolutionary for the time, making the epic poem accessible to a wider audience and solidifying his place in the literary canon. I highly recommend 'The Divine Comedy: Inferno, Purgatorio, Paradiso' to readers interested in epic poetry, medieval literature, and philosophical inquiry. Dante Alighieri's timeless work continues to captivate audiences with its profound insights into the human condition and its enduring exploration of the afterlife.

    'one day I wake up and it's November / bare branches are faulty umbilical cords / failing to implant the sky'
In Tree, Natalie Whittaker is writing about her personal experience of stillbirth and the mental illness that can follow such a traumatic event. It is a subject that is still rarely addressed in poetry, writing or conversation. That she is able to do so here, in eighteen intricate, carefully crafted poems, in a way that is engaging, communicative, distressing and yet also beautiful, is a testament to her abilities as a poet, her strong grasp on the power of language and the power of her imagination. With these powers, she brings a harrowing subject close up and enables the reader to truly feel, to see, to understand, to share. It is a brave and necessary work, wonderfully and heart-breakingly realised.
