Singing Untogether is Carol Rumens’s final collection, a book of songs and elegies that moves between a South London childhood still marked by the Blitz and the wars of the present in Kyiv, Aleppo, and Gaza. Several poems answer other poets’ songs, Hafez and Seferis among them, and satire and children’s rhymes sit alongside lament, though the book keeps returning to what war leaves behind, a doll in the rubble or a severed hand. In her retelling of the Souli women of 1803, the children thrown from Mount Zalongo live on in the dancers of a village festival.
