Summary

In this, her first collection of poetry, Marian Frances White skilfully explores and expands the boundaries of love, sexuality and relationships. She speaks passionately of womanhood, her emerging sexuality, her life in Boston and how the East Coast fisheries crisis is changing her world. In a mature poetic voice she celebrates her own survival, as she contemplates the survival of us all.
