The long-awaited third collection from one of the UK's finest, most
virtuosic of modern lyric poets. These poems take the reader on
surprising journeys of healing, hard-won amid personal and social
vicissitudes - including triumph over addiction, and alcoholism -- and
open spaces in which to share in emotional, quasi-spiritual
transcendence despite. Who could ask for more?
"When poetry is the centre of your life the strength of some poets will
get fixed in the orbit of your day, their poems settled into the memory
of mind and body. Sophie Robinson is one of my absolute favourites, her
lines returning to me, visceral, unsettling, exacting, and stunning! If
you read one book of poems this year, let it be this! She's a gateway
drug, keeping you wanting all books of poetry to be as genius to make
part of your waking life." - CA Conrad, author of While Standing in
Line for Death.
