Diane Tucker writes from experience and the sustaining power of memory in this first collection of poems. She writes of falling in love with the wrong person: For you I ride without a seat belt, willing to be thrown clear at first impact; her daughter at four months, whose fingertips are globes of amber salmon roe/ cool smooth/ and salty; and growing up as an adopted child: mystery breathes on my bare shoulders/ whispers between my spread-eagled arms: / you could be anyone in the whole wide world.

Tucker treats her subjects with respect, compassion and a subtle playfulness. Her love of language, humour and poetic consciousness transforms images from everyday life into lyrical, intimate and original works of art, offering the reader fresh insights - with just a touch of magic.
