In this new collection, Gill Nicholson fluidly joins two sequences of poems that explore the raw, visceral experience of love, memory, grief and loneliness and how that experience becomes part of the body of the grieving. These are lyric poems, elegiac in tone, taut and poignant, that not only reflect loss and sadness with emotional honesty, but are uplifting in their remembrance of establishing a new shared life and love.

Gill Nicholson was born in Slough, Bucks, in 1936. She was educated at a co-ed independent boarding school where she was taught English by poet Brian Merrikin Hill. She then went to Bretton Hall to train as a junior school teacher specialising in music. Living alone in Clitheroe in 1956, she started writing poems about isolation, dwindling religious conviction and the Cold War.
