"This is a second unusual and beautiful sequence of poems by a writer whose work is always remarkable. This new work is much less tied to the poet's own experience and shows her characteristic love of story and the solidity of the imagined. Wonderfully inventive and both moving and amusing, it focuses on a family of giants and in particular the daughter, Moss, and her efforts to conceal from her lover just how tall she really is. Typical for Anne Kennedy, this tale also includes gentle satire on contemporary manners, witty language play and a warm and affectionate tone."--Jacket.
