Publisher's Synopsis
From cramped cubicles to rented bedrooms, hallways that become highways in the sleepless hours, to the space and beauty of a shrine; Woodford's award-winning poems revisit old rooms and find new ones following the birth of a child and the passing of time in the family home and beyond.
There are ship rats, bedsocks, KitKats and, in the poem 'Work', which was a Ledbury prize winner, the Post-it notes and endless afternoons of office life. Changing Room includes poems from Woodford's Leverhulme residency at Durham Law School, as well a sequence on ageing and getting out, which appeared on buses in the North of England and as part of a touring exhibition in libraries.
