"Catherine Fisher's new collection of poems is a vivid kaleidoscope of themes and images, from vampires and monks that fly to the duties of undertakers and the unearthing of ancient skeletons. The first of five sequences traces an amnesia victim's struggle to rebuild his memory, and 'Four Fragments for Lent' recalls scenes from the life of Christ through the odd parallels of contemporary events. The book culminates in 'The Estuary Poems', a moving and personal series detailing the immigration of the author's forefathers after the Irish Famine and the slow process of integration."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
