This book of fiction and slant autobiography by Joan Fleming occupies the dizzying space between what can be told about love, and what cannot.
‘Joan Fleming’s odd, singular vision is a a wonderfully new and valuable addition to contemporary New Zealand poetry.’
—Tim Upperton
‘A rare originality at work.’
—Cliff Fell
