* A Poetry Book Society Recommendation 2016* 'When we climb alone en corde feminine, we are magicians of the Alps we make the routes we follow disappear' The poems of Helen Mort's second collection offer an unforgettable perspective on the heights we scale and the distances we run, the routes we follow and the paths we make for ourselves. Here are odes to the women who dared to break new ground from Miss Jemima Morrell, a young Victorian woman from Yorkshire who hiked the Swiss Peaks in her skirts and petticoats, to the modern British mountaineer Alison Hargreaves, who died descending from the summit of K2. Distinctive and courageous, these are poems of passion and precipices, of edges and extremes. No Map Could Show Them confirms Helen Morts position as one of the finest young poets at work today.

Recensioner i media

A highly intelligent, yet very accessible collection and an interesting addition to the ongoing discussion of where our culture is with gender identity There is something which feels very necessary about this collection and there are moments throughout where it feels like a worthy successor to The Feminine Gospels and The Worlds Wife. * Huffington Post * Wonderfully playful... In the crowded field of mountain literature, this precise, sparky and constantly surprising book more than holds its own. -- Roger Cox * Scotsman * A perfect response to the chauvinism face by the earliest female mountaineers This precise, sparky and constantly surprising book more than holds its own. -- Roger Cox * Yorkshire Post * Superb young Sheffield poet. -- Horatia Harrod * Financial Times * Morts assurance keeps us on edge, but trustful. One could say she doesnt put a foot wrong. Her style is spare, showing bone without too much flesh This is a strong, fierce collection. -- Peter Scupham * Literary Review *
