Description
A giant crane appears at the back windows of a residential street, its beam swinging freely, its red 'eye' seeming to overlook the lives on the other side of the glass. In her eighth collection of poems, Susan Wicks explores our ordinary existence, its serendipities and unreliable sense-impressions. The crane's presence is both a disruption and a catalyst for change. As new buildings spring up under its watchful eye, seasons shift, and perspectives vary, the landscape we knew begins to transform. By the time the giant machine leaves, the world has changed, and so have we. This poignant collection of poems invites us to reflect on our place within it. With characteristic nuance and insight, Susan Wicks captures the fleeting moments that make life worth living.
