The sensuous imagery and courageous protest are at the service of a moral mind. In this new collection, the poet's concerns have been altered by 'that other one / who may turn out lover or scorching sun'. But a romantic meeting is not the book's entire theme.

Seeking to answer that she imagines migrant refugees in the Mediterranean and villagers after a tsunami, memorialises her father in his life crossing the river into which she is scattering his ashes, narrates the lifelong actions of a simple villager drawing water from a well, visits the caves of Buddhas or gods; and although 'There are places that will / Never be known to us / The deepest recesses / That we'll refuse to enter', although a lover may betray and the flowers of the garden are scattered, the poet attempts to - perhaps does - find deliverance in kindness, the end of illusion, and the recovery of love in song. Leslie Bell, Mica Press.
