About the Book

American expatriate Carrie Etter's debut collection, The Tethers, introduces a compelling new voice. By turns wry, celebratory, and pensive, the poems roam from an imaginary village to Manhattan, the southwestern U.S., London, the Czech Republic, and Etter's homeland, the Illinois prairie. With a lyric intensity born of compression and linguistic precision, The Tethers' travels are as much psychological as physical, exploring the life of the mind as it engages with delight and despair, pleasure and hardship, in an unusually mature first book.

About the Author :
Originally from Normal, Illinois, Carrie Etter lives in Bradford on Avon and teaches creative writing at Bath Spa University.

Review :
Many contemporary poets blow away in the gale of nihil and nonsense that life is becoming, but some still try to weather it - Carrie Etter is one of the few to have found strong roots to cling to, and one of the very few in whose lines one can discern the flesh-and-blood figure of a witness wholly alive, alert to the evidence, unsparing but unjudging, getting it down by heart. Sorrowing, glad, graceful, The Tethers is a rich and significant debut.A" - Glyn Maxwell The Tethers is full of highly intelligent, often finely cadenced and in the best sense measured poetry. Carrie Etter deftly fuses accents of modern America and England with a strong sense of the Classics. Nuanced, lyrical, occasionally humorous, these poems reveal time after time an acute sense of 'the rise and fall of what we cannot moor'." - Robert Crawford " You have to listen very hard to Etter's subtleties, and then your own answering imagination repays you." Warwick Review [H]ers is an assured, confident voice.A" The North 44 [T]he inventive image-making that suffuses Etter's writing is [ - ] accompanied by a perceptive clarity of thought, threaded through a concise, fluid style capable of addressing a range of subjects while still sounding wholly individual. [ - ] Etter's real talent [ - ] lies in her ability to immerse the reader in - rather than merely convey - the sensory experience of a poem. [ - ] The Tethers marks the arrival of an original talent, and is surely one of the most ambitious and accomplished first collections of recent years.A" Times Literary Supplement
