A collection of deeply moving, spiritually triumphant poems bearing witness to the harrowing course of Huntington’s Disease, an incurable hereditary neuro-degenerative illness, through the eyes of a partner and carer.
This beautifully produced, accomplished collection also confronts themes of sexual repression, the conflict between personal desires and social obligations, politics, austerity, travel, and points of conflict in history.
Published 2019 by the Recusant
