 \n# Under a\n\nHoldernessSky  \nNorah Hanson's much-anticipatedsecond collection of poetry picks upwhere her first left off;returning tothe streets of her native Hull,past andpresent,to look seventy years of history-and the human condition-squarelyin the eye,unflinching,but never losingsight of the warmth and humour thatinfuses all her work.  \nNorah paints with the varied coloursof life itself,displaying a mastery ofemotional range that few can match;where moments of heart-achingpoignancy are quickly followed bysparks of knowing,perfectly-aimedwit.If this book catches you in the
