At the centre of the collection, the long title-poem interweaves material from two pregnancies spanning two generations: these months open themselves up to insecurities and dreams, culture, myths, everyday realities and moments of fear or delight. The two births that end this compelling narrative take the book in a new direction, to a time and place where it is possible to stand still and watch a saucepan drying on a draining-board or cycle round a mountainous island at age sixty, laugh at oneself, or even begin again.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: Poetry & DramaRelease Year: 2016 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
