Collected poems

Sinopse

"Brings together for the first time her 'Poems 1960-2000' and four subsequent collections. Adcock writes about men and women, childhood, identity, roots and rootlessness, memory and loss, animals and dreams, as well as our interactions with nature and place. Her poised, ironic poems are remarkable for their dry wit, conversational tone and psychological insight, unmasking the deceptions of love or unravelling family lives"--Inside front flap.
