Speaks for the Devil in acknowledging that in many societies women are respected, or listened to, only when they are carrying someone evils in their bodies - a child; a devil. For some to be possessed is to be set free.

This collection asks crucial questions about how we live - working, traveling, eating, listening to the news, preparing for attack. What do any of us know about the person who shares this street, this house, this table, this body? Born in Pakistan, Imtiaz Dharker grew up in Glasgow, married an Indian and moved to Bombay. She now moves between India, London, and Wales. She is an accomplished artist and all of her books include her own drawings.

A book of poems and drawings that presents themes which are drawn from a life of transitions: childhood, exile, journeying, home, displacement, religious strife and terror.

Imtiaz Dharker's main themes are drawn from a life of transitions: childhood, exile, journeying, home, displacement, religious strife and terror, and latterly, grief. She is also an accomplished artist, and all her collections are illustrated with her drawings, which form an integral part of her books. 'Over the Moon' is her fifth book from Bloodaxe. These are poems of joy and sadness, of mourning and celebration: poems about music and feet, church bells, beds, cafe tables, bad language and sudden silence."

Latest collection - illustrated by the author - by Bloodaxe's biggest selling poet, winner of the Queen's Gold Medal for Poetry. Has appeared on many radio and TV programmes, including Desert Island Discs.
