I've not read Molly Peacock's poetry, but she describes her early poetry as being sexually graphic, and unfortunately, graphic sexual images seem to be the reoccurring prism through which she sees Mary Delany's 18th century life and art, and it doesn't work. Similarly, Molly Peacock compares her life and family to Mary Delany's, and though she tells . Amazon Customer said historical and interesting.
