You Can Get Only So Close On Google Earth

Description

‘In this first collection, Ann Shenfield’s often tentatively articulated thoughts and anecdotes are realized as poems almost in spite of themselves. The little narratives build—and they are narratives rather than lyrical effusions—and they aggregate in effect, expanding to the reader’s attention as though heliotropes responding to the light!’
