Status Updates From The Built Moment

"He peers at me and the space between us extends itself // so that I am where he wants me, out there in the dark / in a place without stars or fathers"

I love this collection, sad though it often is. However I feel that for me it will become much closer to me the more I reread the poems.

Some very sad poetry with the exploration and experience of the impact of dementia on her father and her relationship with him. The focus on time and its implications is clever and thought provoking - a wonderful poet

This is a wonderful collection. The insights the poet provides the reader into the impact dementia has on her father's life and on her relationship with him are marvellous while being incredibly sad. The exploration of the meaning of time and of the implications for the dementia sufferer living in the present, without an understanding of the past or a concept of a future, really draws you into each of the poems.
