From Frank who ‘spits words straight from the seam’ to the schoolgirl who ‘has buried so much for so long’, these poems travel the road from the down-to-earth and outspoken to what’s more reflective, hidden or difficult to voice. In varied contexts, Frank offers examples of the ways in which we negotiate our inner truth through interaction with others and ourselves.

‘What lives in shadow is always seeking a gap.’ In this collection, the unexpected enters in various forms, welcome or unwelcome.  What is ‘uninvited’ leads to experiences of conflict, joy and grief.  Love, loss and a search for identity and meaning are attendant themes, while resolution comes through understanding and acceptance.'
