Summary

This is a book that will speak to many especially those who have had or been tempted to have an affair. The poems trace the roller-coaster journey of a relationship, celebrating love, passion and the sheer joy of being together but also reflects the darker side of illicit love and finally, loss. Sample poem... manicure by F M Kay for the first time ever I've started really looking after my fingernails, shaping, polishing, protecting, moisturising, painting, spending time and effort, taking a lot of care, and I'm doing it because I want to take you in my hand, enfold you, arouse you, and then remember the image of my fingers wrapped around you with their startlingly coloured nails, when you're so pale, beautiful, erect. A perfect gift book! Illustrated by Trevor Price
