Shall We Go by Annemarie Austin James Womack In a place of dualities

In a place of dualities and unrealities

medical and arctic in well-tempered rational diffusion

dark cloth lifted

Shall We Go by Annemarie Austin James Womack In a place of dualitiesAnnemarie Austin's vividly imaginative poems explore other worlds and other lives, drawing upon her own memories and experiences, as well as on art, travel, dream, myth, history and literature. The first poem in her new collection asks 'Shall we go on the shiny?', the last one ends 'being altogether gone this time'. In between there's the tightrope, 'The Walking Shot', the report on the pilgrimage in progress, the marquise going out at five o'clock.
