Tracing the legacy of Margaret Atwood - a writer who has fundamentally shaped our contemporary literary landscapes - 'Paper Boat' assembles Atwood's most vital poems in one essential volume. In pieces that are at once brilliant, beautiful and hyper-imagined, Atwood gives voices to remarkably drawn characters - mythological figures, animals and everyday people - all of whom have something to say about what it means to live in a world as strange as our own.
