Description
Mr Ferndean? He's in the neighbourhood - not a relative, but familiar, his stumbling blocks and layered calamities, the triumphs that assail him every once in a while. This new pamphlet from Barbara Marsh follows Mr Ferndean on his quest for resolution with his dog, cat and parrot, his friend Mr Calhoun and the woman of his dreams. A side-step from the locative and audacious agency of her first collection To the Boneyard, these poems illuminate the tangles of a quiet life as Mr Ferndean passes through the everyday. He's in the neighbourhood - and so are we.
