Galatea by Melanie Challenger, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

In Galatea, her first collection, Challenger casts a poet's sensitive eye across the hours of a tumultuous century to create startling poems whose voice - resolute, compassionate, original - both celebrates and mourns the tensions of human nature. Drawing her themes from the Pygmalion myth, Challenger portrays her subjects in trembling poise between action and inaction, consummation and defeat. | Galatea by Melanie Challenger, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
