    'Dorothy Porter's fourth poetry collection is an exhilarating ride through passions found, imagined and richly lived.

    'From a modern, petrol-headed Carmen and Don José to pairs of polar explorers and silent twins, an intersection of birds and asylums, reflections on vanished love and new desire, Driving Too Fast bursts with vitality, a horsepower rhythm and language that turns on a dime.'
