A Question of Gravity (Paperback)

Elizabeth Smither's poems - brief, darting and full of unexpected insights - inhabit back gardens and vast landscapes, art galleries, restaurants, educational courses, public transport and are peopled with family and friends from the present and the past. They fit together in a quite distinctive way: "the point is not simply the pleasure of juxtaposition, it is the way...details transform each other through mutual awareness", writes fellow poet Bill Manhire.
