Lynn Davies' first collection brings together poems astonished with the fierce power of love. With a remarkable sureness of tone and clarity and immediacy of perception, she surrenders to the demands of a fully experienced life, and to the necessity to honour it with poetry.

NOMINATED for the 1999 Governor General's Award for Poetry NOMINATED for the 2000 Gerald Lampert Award for best first book of poetry published in 1999
