AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'This is a poet who sees the world in very physical terms and is enraptured by colour. Watts is a poet after D H Lawrence’s own heart, finding contemporary actions and events aligned with archetypal forces and our beings as genetically determined. The title comes from one of many powerful poems about her mother and father suffering in old age.' - Dennis Haskell (Publication summary)
