Notes

'The moon's face removes itself behind cloud's purdah, the way you must move, ethical, with what has lodged, and what is to come, fabricated into glitter. Opening with a surreal vision of creativity and mourning, Vanishing Point returns to flakes of desire, memory and dreams. This dynamic collection traces currents of eroticism and the imagination, charting the skeleton of feeling and the blood of beginnings.' (Publisher's Blurb)
