This first collection of poems by acclaimed poet Honor Moore brings together selected poems from the last fifteen years. In a style described by Marilyn Hacker as "consummately textured, most elegant when most desperate, " these poems explore the turbulent course of love, including sensuous, erotic love as well as the many-layered attachment to family. They take the reader through the heart of strong experience in the shadow of AIDS, sexual abuse, the struggle for accommodation between the sexes, nuclear threat - the multi-layered fabric of modern life and love.
