Publisher's Synopsis
It came to me
As though from a dream
This wicked, wild wielding
Shielding me
From a fate
Worse than death . . .
Here in Catherine Harford's first collection of poems, she delivers a slice of more than 20 years' worth of work. At the heart of her poetry lies the power of lyricism, potent imagining and linguistic mastery. Her fluent, original style is tantalising, seductive and satisfying, leaving an impression of richness and warmth upon the soul.
Come and keep company with Harford in her unique world of mythology, modernity and modality as she walks you through the changing seasons of life. Thought and impression collide like waves on a shore, as only the brevity of human emotion can, under moon and sun.
