The tincture of salt

While many of these passionate poems are about lesbian relationships, they speak to all women who are navigating life's delights and pitfalls. Women whose lovers, families and jobs can either enthral or disappoint. Women who fall in love and take chances, make choices or cope with seemingly inescapable circumstances. Women favoured who are the lovers, mothers, daughters, friends, colleagues and innocent (or not so innocent) bystanders we all know. Those women who just might be ourselves.
