"Rapture" is a map of real love, in all its churning complexity; simultaneously direct and subtle, ...

"I simply loved this. It's immediate, close to the skin and either hot and lusty or hot and painful, both of which are good. She's very astute at observing her own emotional processes whilst in love and moulding them into words. It's so good to be able to have a new female poet to add to my list of women I admire.
