A compelling first collection from a poet whose exploration of mental illness is acutely observed, wry, poignant, dark and humane.

'It has fallen to Abegail Morley to draw aside the veil suspended between the world we know and the unholy of unholies that lies beyond. We are shown the painted veil of everyday life only to have it slashed with a knife before our eyes, allowing us to glimpse the horror that lies within, sometimes frightening but always lit with a strange visionary beauty. Morley's poems are daredevil ambassadors to a savage place.' Hugo Williams
'...moving, sensitively written, compelling, ...well worth a read.' Sophie Hannah -- Publisher: Cinnamon Press
