Eldest Daughter Sitting on a Pyre

<p>Eldest Daughter Sitting on a Pyre is a selection of vivid harsh but real sensations - going so far and so fast in the small space of this book. Underneath the layers of grief and affliction in these poems lies a profound balancing of the senses.&nbsp;</p><p>Here water thickens to be much more than a passing thought. Here water is blood - passionate painful staining - its flows caustic; aggressively sweeping away at the fallen shards of a shattered stained glass. Eldest Daughter is reactive - a cornered creature which cannot be pacified till words fester in your eyes.</p>
