For Rod Mengham sculpture and painting exist in the world the way poems do. He invokes the Polish sculptor Katarzyna Kobro, who believes that sculpture must be understood as part of the world around it.

'Poems should be finished, but be still hot to the touch, giving a vivid sense of the thinking and feeling that went into their creation, ' he says.

This telescoping informs the structure of these prose poems, a species of modernist fable.
