In this collection of verse, Marion gives free rein to her imagination and her love of language. As she explains, it came about in a strange way. ‘I was in the U.K. one December, suffering from a streaming head cold. My body was in terrible shape, but my brain lit up under the influence of maximum doses of over-the-counter medication. Some of the poems are love poems, some are light-hearted romps, others rather more risqué… all of them play with words. Make of them what you will.’
