Helen Ivory speaks in tongues and alters time in her first collection. Here are voices lost inside mental illness, divided and diverting selves as well as sinister voices who control their madness and make things happen. She creates puppet shows in which larger-than-life forces pull the strings and write the scripts. Drawing also from the darkly dramatic world of fairytale and myth - where a red wind thick with sand erases all memory - The Double Life of Clocks turns day into night and tells the time by counting spiders.
