Songs For Winter Rain by Sophie Grace Chappell

“Grief, and dealing with it, are central themes of this collection. But also, Chappell examines faith and interrogates it; and her heart is amply shown to beat in the north, and in writing about it. Chappell’s language is rich, revealing—especially so in “Glen Lui,” and some of the earlier poems, where there are echoes of TS Eliot…Despite the minotaur grief at the heart of the collection, Chappell’s poetry involves both the heart and head of the reader, and evokes a longing to leave the built-up south for a world of more intimate understanding.”

–Jennifer A. McGowan, winner of the 2020 Prole Pamphlet Competition
