Eat the Marrow

Philip Gross, winner of the T.S. Eliot Prize no less, tells us that the language of Mara Adamitz Scrupe’s poems is lustrous, packed and fractured, reflecting light and dark at sudden angles - one moment starkly personal, the next, opening on perspectives of deep history. These poems move with a passionate but patient urgency, attentive to each moment, carrying their grave concerns about the world, its past, its present and its future.

And none of us would disagree with one single word; a truly outstand poet and this collection is 96 pages and perfect bound with several ink illustrations; a thing of great beauty.
