Description

Poems. paperback. 59 pages. Cover designed by Denis Brown.

On donating the volume the author wrote of her collaboration with Denis Brown and the significance of this volume: “It collects many of the poems that came out of my side of our long creative collaboration, and in particular the section of “Coffin. Crypt. Consumption.” on page 8, “The third examination of conscience” which Denis used to create Couple. Which is his own title. I had written that sequence of poems shortly before I met up with Denis for the first time, and was thrilled that he filleted out those lines for his initial creative response. I love his cover, and its connection to Couple. And I especially love the way Denis morphed a scan of his own hairy and living forearm to the image of real vellum!”
