In this debut collection, Nazaret Ranea explores what it means to honour our roots while forging a life on our own terms, ultimately turning away from the artificial to rediscover meaning in the natural world.  “These are poems that imagine much we are not ‘meant’ to see or feel – the eye of a humpback whale, a face persisting lifelessly in a death mask, the stinging welts from nettles – alongside the domestic, the familial made strange, through silences, repetitions. They are powerful poems, and unnerving ones” – Peter Mackay, Scotland’s Makar
