Description

Winner of the Montana 2008 Poetry Award. This immensely readable collection is among the most accessible well loved poet Janet Charman has written. Her poems always emerge out of ordinary daily experience, the life with which her readers are only too familiar. By illuminating this world she broadens perceptions and understandings without romance or melodrama. The stunning first part of Cold Snack explores the pains and pleasures (mostly the pains) of becoming a schoolteacher in midlife; the second, a single long sequence, 'Televisioner', recalls a period spent as receptionist for a television broadcaster. First published April 2007.
