About this title.

They come unbidden . . . painting pictures in your head. They cause you to stop and stare into the middle distance . . . contemplating . . . The messages are there threaded seamlessly into the words, the work of a master craftsman . . . they rush toward you brightly coloured . . . some jarring . . . some clashing . . . some extra smooth. They swerve. Your capture is unavoidable. Ever intriguing, totally thought-provoking, Michael Morrissey's poetry speaks of love and lust, drunkenness and sorrow, mystery and the seeking of eternal truths that might define us and those with whom we live and love, question and quarrel. A New Zealand professional writer and poet, with many published works, in this collection of poems Michael captures the essence of relationships and life with a clarity and edginess that will leave you gasping.
