Savage Tales, Tara Bergin's third collection, is shortlisted for the Derek Walcott Prize for Poetry 2023 and the Pigott Poetry Prize 2023. It explores original territory, bringing the riddle, song, and dialogue into a series of formally inventive and blackly comic sequences. Bergin's book asks us to steer our way through a chorus of exchanges and situations, charting the fraught course between the making of individual poems and an authority that is always called into question.

Shortlisted for the Derek Walcott Prize for Poetry 2023, Tara Bergin's third collection, Savage Tales, continues to explore original territory, blending riddle, song, and dialogue into a series of formally inventive and blackly comic sequences. Bergin's book invites readers to navigate a chorus of exchanges and situations, as she charts the fraught course between the making of individual poems and the uneasy bedfellow of this sustained activity—an authority that is constantly called into question. With great wit, ingenuity, and panache, Savage Tales confirms Bergin as one of the outstanding poets of our time, dramatizing the contemporary and the classic in striking fashion.
