This collection blossomed like a hot-house flower as poet and novelist Crysse Morrison, during her final illness, collaborated with Hazel Stewart to create thematic groupings of the best of her published and unpublished work. Many of these poems were competition winners, many are familiar from Crysse's performances over the last decades - not least her awesome stint on the plinth at Trafalgar Square - and many are undiscovered gems. This collection is testament to Crysse's multi-faceted talent.
