The Scissor Crossing

In this new collection, Gill Nicholson fluidly joins two sequences of poems that explore the raw, visceral experience of love, memory, grief and loneliness and how that experience becomes part of the body of the grieving. These are lyric poems, elegiac in tone, taut and poignant, that not only reflect loss and sadness with emotional honesty, but are uplifting in their remembrance of establishing a new shared life and love.
