Jackie's latest collection of poetry is full of the dramatic power associated with her work, and plenty of music too.

She explores the theme of identity in poems about an older generation, especially grandmothers, about the old days and the new days, and places the poet associates with these people, who live dreamlike, isolated existences, geographically, but also in the memory.

Nature and the elements play a big role too: trees, the moon, the sea, fire.

Jackie's style is both muscular and lyrical - one moment witty, the next melancholic, or gently surreal - and in this brilliant new collection, her poems are infused with warmth and colour: in particular, the colour RED.
