| 1 | Waving At Trains | 2010 | Judith Arnopp | Buy |
Judith Arnopp’s poetry consists of Waving At Trains, published in 2010. The collection offers a different side of an author best known for her historical novels.
Arnopp has built her reputation on historical fiction set in Tudor and medieval England, with novels about figures like Anne Boleyn and Henry VII. Waving At Trains shows her working in a very different mode, trading long-form narrative for the compressed language of verse.
The collection is a curiosity for readers who know Arnopp’s novels and want to see how her voice translates to poetry. It remains her only published poetry volume, with her focus staying on historical fiction in the years since.
