Description
Jackie Wills's first collection was short-listed for the 1995 T. S. Eliot prize. This, her third collection, is about children and the world around us, about trying to live in the moment and recognising that normality is relative. A beautifully-crafted and utterly compelling book.

Reviews / Votes
"Jackie Wills travels through landscapes of place, memory and imagination with a luminous clarity.... She manages beautifully the conjuring trick of writing poems that begin with simple moment, observation or place that spin off 'tracking soundwaves through space' to become lyrical and humane meditations on the possibilities of life, love and death." Amanda Dalton; "Jackie Wills makes poetry out of the everyday features of life in which the familiar is charged with a wider resonance." Grace Nichols"More details
