Description and Table of Contents
Description
The incidents in this collection of poems range from childhood experiences and family events, street life in Thatcher's Britain, through to premonition of deaths under the shadow of the nuclear threat. It includes a group of fictional narratives and a few erotic or, more properly, anti-erotic poems for which Fleur Adcock is known. There are also celebrations of places, reflections of art and language and affectionalte tributes to friends. This collection is reissued following publication of Adcock's "Selected Poems" and "Time Zones". It is intended for use at GCSE, sixth-form and undergraduate level, and for the general poetry reader.
