The Channel, the poet's fourth collection and her UK debut, is in deep conversation with King Lear, listening for Cordelia as a person banished from home, whose nearest relations know love only as a form of control. The play depends on her silence, but outside of the play her voice may make us audible to ourselves.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThese poems contemplate, brilliantly and dynamically, authority familial and cultural, illnesses of mind and of body, flights across borders and languages, on nights lit only by violent storms.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"purchaseBlock\" data-role=\"popover\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wrap\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ePaperback | \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublication: 27 Aug 2026, Faber \u0026amp; Faber \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eISBN: 9780571401383 | \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eExtent: 96 pages\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David's Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57742230323582,"sku":null,"price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/0892\/5225\/files\/9780571401383.jpg?v=1784892193","url":"https:\/\/www.davids-bookshops.co.uk\/products\/the-channel-by-jana-prikryl","provider":"David's Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
