Produktbeschreibung

Winner of the 2002 Brittingham Prize in Poetry, this collection explores the gestures of hurtfulness and compassion. Whether set in a shelter for battered women, in the midst of a political demonstration, or at the centre of an orchestra, the poems pursue the place of language in an injurous world.
