Gethsemane Day ebook | Dorothy Molloy | 9780571263639

Hare Soup, Dorothy Molloy's first collection of poems, was published by Faber in 2004, just weeks after the poet’s untimely death. Gethsemane Day brings together her last and hitherto unpublished poems, which celebrate survival with all the anarchic zest, mordancy and lyric drive of Hare Soup, while confronting individual illness and death with moving lucidity.
