"St Brenhilda on Sula Sgeir", from David Wheatley's new collection, A Nest on the Waves, recently published by Gallery Press, Ronan's sister describes her own ascetic life, death and strange resurrection. Unlike St Francis of Assisi, also the subject of a poem in the collection, Brenhilda claims no deep kinship with the birds that keep her company. The voice given her is brisk and cold.from Carol Rumens: The Guardian: Books blog: Poem of the week: St. Brenhilda on Sula Sgeir by David Wheatley
