28th November 1944 - 21st December 2023 Many of the poems in this collection were written over the past decade, but they explore family history in all its mysteries, agonies and contradictions, reaching back well over a century. Lorraine made her final home in Crediton, where she continued to cast an ironic but humane eye on contemporary life and its concerns. Any proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to the Crediton Food Bank.
