"Simultaneously nonchalant and surprisingly profound, yet never
sentimental in a way that might vacate the poems’ paradox and depth."—Tess Parker (editor of La Juanca)
Fifteen new poems form the fourth instalment in Dorothy Spencer’s See What Life Is Like poetry series. Newfound motherhood, pollution, tragedy and going fishing are all covered in a series of ethereal and eternal verses, told with acerbic wit.
