A first collection of poems from Robert Chevara. Robert is an internationally-acclaimed, award-winning artist, writer and director. His output spans the fields of opera, film and theatre, and his productions include seminal works by Shakespeare, Williams, Ridley, Verdi, Bizet and Adès. He has written several opera libretti and contributed to poetry collections, and is equally active in the arenas of political engagement and both visual and performance art. He divides his time between London and Berlin. 'Aching. Defiant. Piercing. Compassion for the lost and wounded runs like a vein of gold through Chevara's work.' - D.J. Connell
