This is a collection in search of origins, a kind of 'delving',
'trying to get to the bottom of it'. In a series of unsettling
prose poems Black offers pieces of a fractured past. The effect is
memorable and often menacing, each poem glinting like a sliver from
a broken mirror; language enacting the struggle to retrieve and
reassemble an unauthorised past. The difficulties of truth finding
and telling are explored through shifts in identity and a syntax of
qualifications and hesitations where everyday phrases take on a new
and frightening resonance. Domestic objects and rituals loom large
in the distorted reflections of the poems, conveying a sense of
wonderland gone wrong.
