| In this follow-up collection to the award-winning The Truth Garden, Emma Neale asks where exactly do the personal and the political drop hands? In poems that are engaged, compelling, witty and moving, she looks at how we navigate a true line through the psychological, environmental, social and economic anxieties of our times. The book examines love in its many guises, and also energetically responds to the distractions and delights of the digital age. Writing of Emma Neale's 'kitchen-familiar and cosmic-wide attentions', Poet Laureate Vincent O'Sullivan has said, 'There is something so celebratory about Emma Neale's poetry, about its eager, informed, needle-eyed engagement with the contemporary world [She runs] the hot thread of linguistic flare and precision through whatever occasion she takes up.' |

"[Emma Neale] knows how to use an array of language skills, sometimes dazzling, sometimes quietly so apt and right for the fit-to-feeling that one takes in the reading a fine hit of heart-stopping moments." —Michael Harlow
