The Body in Space by Gerrie Fellows
This is a poetry of layers and echoes. Poems which bring together people and places - family relationships enacted through webs of intimacy or distance, the dead remembered in interleaved images of art and medicine. These are poems concerned with the living presence of place - and with what is written over it by maps and history, whether in the crash site of a military aircraft in Argyll, in the personal histories of an elegy or in the eroded landscapes of the Scottish hills. Here the living move through time and weather, making and remaking their own language in the music and silences of the poems.
Gerrie Fellows' previous collections include Window for a Small Blue Child, a sequence about fertility treatment, shortlisted for the Scottish Poetry Book of the Year, and a poetry and prose sequence, The Powerlines, which explores transformations wrought by settlement and hydro-electricity. A Scottish poet with roots in New Zealand, her poetry appears in many anthologies of Scottish writing.
