<p>&lsquo;What is impressive is the ambit of this collection, the way Morgan explores with equal authority the natural world, history, mythology, the vagaries of humankind, and grief. A finely-tuned intelligence shines through these poems, which are lexically rich and jam-packed with precise imagery. Her poems marry the down-to-earth to the numinous; they make evident the breadth of Morgan&rsquo;s engagement with life and with language, and her passion for fusing the two.&rsquo; &ndash;&nbsp; Kathryn Lomer</p>
