This collection of linked poems takes the reader on a journey where angels ride bicycles, wounds both grieve and heal, and our will/diving through the shuddering/wet world, carries us. Resonant with a longing so ardent and spacious, these are poems of place and displacement, sickness and health. A poet of striking maturity, Eleonore Schonmaier writes of icy depths and serene pools with equal ease.

Unfolding evocative tones of voice, these poems propel a narrative which is far-ranging yet focussed.
