“Here
are poems about the moments and details of a life. Poems about oxblood
boots, about love and its intensities, about feeling ripped in half
after a birth, and revelling in a son’s discovery of dust motes. Poems
about divorce and about loving women, at being surprised by a love for a
man who will become an ex-husband. The outside world peers in with
poems about flaming aeroplanes going into towers. These are poems where
ordinary moments become extraordinary through their telling in soft,
flowing lines.”
