Four Thousand Keys

Four Thousand Keys, Linda McKenna’s second full-length poetry collection, explores themes of dispossession, dislocation and life on the margins between history and story. Combining archival sources, myth, family stories, ekphrasis and the voices of people from the past, the poems deal with the pull of ancestry and its emotional hinterlands, motherhood and ageing, exile and rootlessness, interspersed with moments of acceptance and hope for the future.
