Summary

In Galatea, her first collection, Challenger casts a poet's sensitive eye across the hours of a tumultuous century to create startling poems whose voice - resolute, compassionate, original - both celebrates and mourns the tensions of human nature. Drawing her themes from the Pygmalion myth, Challenger portrays her subjects in trembling poise between action and inaction, consummation and defeat.

Excerpts

from The Service of the HeartA mirror-fragment snares blood-huesFrom the cavern as if the dreamingsOf heart run on - whether by sequel or piety,Something vexed and exquisitelyRuined works its cure.The hands of others excite each breastboneTo its crux, winging the world through the vessel.Red admiral of heart-muscle -A figment in the passage, its tidings dammed,Each wave weaned from an oceanBroken of habit.Arbitrary heart, seized to a beleaguered fist,Pendent in depth's darkness, uninvited, blood-guilty.Alarmed by its discord, it rattles the balusters,Disclosing its whereabouts to the spectresOf prehistory, thrilling the weir like sturgeon,Stirring and baiting it, stirring and engulfing.
