Many of the poems in this collection are based on the author’s two years working
in oncology and palliative care. Just as many are about the Scottish
countryside she called home. She now lives in London’s East End, where

“The relish with which the poems are made – the voice always clear in the ear – reveals a warm confiding humanity which will gain her many new readers.” – Carol Ann Duffy on Call It Blue
