Lisa Dart's courageous and beautifully intense lyric collection gives us a candid and unflinching chronicle of her profound grief following the death of her life partner, the poet Peter Abbs; from the domestic minutiae that create the loved texture of a shared life, to the limits of what the psyche can endure. This is a grief that is evoked by everything around her-a pair of shoes, a dropped daffodil bulb, a headboard, falling snow. These are poems that howl, that long for rescue and the turning back of time. Yet in the end that all-pervasive mourning becomes the sign, and the music, of life continuing.
