Madame Fi Fi's Farewell opens with some lively, affecting poems of
love and relationships in a variety of voices: an old man wistfully
regrets lost opportunities; Madame Fi Fi decides it is time,
somewhat ruefully, to hang up her whip; a lovelorn woman speaks of
her unsatisfactory night with a youth from Aruba; and, 'In the
Supermarket', a man and a woman encounter one another after a gap
of twenty years. The book also includes poems rooted in the
specific soils of Ayrshire and Orkney, where old country
characters, primary schoolchildren, and exasperated bus drivers
make their voices heard. This is a book of poems to read and
re-read, quietly to yourself or - as good poetry of any age
deserves - out loud.
