They say a road is the space between two points — but how long or short is that stretch, and how straight is the line joining them?

That is the axis of this selection of twenty poems and twenty-seven monochrome pictures. The book runs through some of the questions that define the poet: the loves that traced curves along her way, the impulses and the considered steps, the people whose lives and departures left a lasting mark, and the window onto a new stage of life.
