Закончилась Первая мировая война, и рядовой Дэниел Бранвелл вернулся в родной Корнуолл. Парню повезло - он остался в живых, в то время как его лучший друг Фредерик встретил свою смерть на изрытом снарядами поле.

Но Бранвел не чувствует себя счастливым. Пока он воевал, мать умерла, а их дом забрали за долги. До бывшего солдата никому нет дела, кроме больной старухи Мэри Паско, которая делится с ним едой и кровом.

To be alive is to be inside the wave, always travelling until it breaks and is gone. These poems are concerned with the borderline between the living and the dead – the underworld and the human living world – and the exquisitely intense being of both. They possess a spare, eloquent lyricism as they explore the bliss and anguish of the voyage.

Inside the Wave, Helen Dunmore’s tenth and final poetry book, was her first since The Malarkey (2012), whose title-poem won the National Poetry Competition. Her other books included Glad of These Times (2007), and Out of the Blue: Poems 1975-2001 (2001), a comprehensive selection drawing on seven previous collections. Her final poem, 'Hold out your arms', written shortly before her death and not included in the first printing of Inside the Wave, was added to subsequent printings.
