A new collection of poetry and collage that reveals Memmott's rich texture and outstanding language sensibility. Poems from this volume won the 1990 Rhysling Award, and have been featured in Year's Best Fantasy and Horror.

The effect is to compress time and space into an emblematic sphere in which the poet works his magic.
