'A bullet / then a siren / then ruins / then a bird song telling the truth' - Dunya Mikhail In her marvellous new poetry collection Tablets: Secrets of the Clay, Dunya Mikhail transforms the world's first symbols - Sumerian glyphs that were carved into clay tablets - into the matter of our everyday contemporary life.
