According to the seventeenth-century herbarium The Garden of Eden,
a 'missel-child' is a mysterious being found beneath a
mistletoe-covered tree - a changeling, perhaps, 'whereof many
strange things are conceived'. Helen Tookey's first full collection
of poems starts from the missel-child to explore archaeologies of
identity, place and language. She is a formally inventive writer,
using collage and syllabics, exploring elegy and myth. The poems in
this book create a space in which language enables something to be
said and also to be shown.
