The Opposite of Swedish Death Cleaning by Alison Binney

£10.99
Tax included.

If Swedish death cleaning is the practice of decluttering one’s own life, this collection is its opposite. Here, items from a parental home jostle for position – chalk, spice jars, a Tupperware Party Susan – within and alongside poems that explore both intimacy and loss. It is rich with plants, trees and birds, as well as household objects, but what binds the poems together is a sense of human connection. The poems sing with the same tenderness, vitality and humour.
