“Each observation, revelation, objet trouvé or evanescent memory in this lapidary collection is not simply cherished and polished but brought to life convincingly, movingly, sometimes uncomfortably, in poetry that is skilful, subtle and honest”.

“Wendy French’s eagerly awaited first collection is packed with risk-taking poems cut close to the bone. Whole areas of mental illness, loss and sorrow are opened up and these themes seem to flower here, so fresh and skilful is their execution.”
