Mrs Uomo’s Yearbook is Danielle Hope’s fifth collection of poetry and the second to feature her character Mrs Uomo – who muddles through modern urban society. Here Mrs Uomo teaches her cat about monetarism, struggles with the bureaucracy of the NHS and browses through her
idiosyncratic yearbook.
Other poems in this collection reflect Danielle’s fascination with trees, coastal towns and cargoes, people who are not-so-ordinary and her memories of growing up on a farm. There are also translations of Italian poets, Giovanni Pascoli and Eugenio Montale.
