Produktbeschreibung

"Great news! A collection of poems from one of poetry's greatest friends, curator of the wonderful Poetry Festival on the Lake at Orta San Giulio. At first glance I am dazzled by phrases such as: silvered with sea verses, the minims and trebles of fish"Gillian Clarke 'This is a very fine small collection by a poet who deserves to be much better known. Perhaps she wonders, as many of us do, "What is my work really worth in the overall scheme of things? Would contemporary literature be any the poorer without my poems?" I believe it certainly would. If this sounds extravagant, go and read Lament for an illegal immigrant.'Michael Swan
