The Ethics of Cats - Paperback

by Alice Kinsella (Author)

Alice Kinsella's The Ethics of Cats is an incisive, unflinching interrogation of memory, survival, and inheritance, written with the lyricism and wry clarity that defines her work. Navigating the tensions between domesticity and wildness, history and the self, these poems shift fluidly between personal reckoning and collective consciousness, from the intimate disarray of motherhood to the ghosted architectures of Ireland's institutional past, and the rising tide of the climate crisis. Kinsella's voice is both tender and unsparing, attuned to the body's vulnerabilities and the quiet devastations of time. The Ethics of Cats is a fierce and deeply felt collection, as intelligent as it is unrelenting.
