Full of elegant, gently piercing observations that build to a compelling portrait of love and loss and overcoming of grief. - Adam Newey, The Guardian
In her debut collection, Fiona Moore confronts personal loss and irretrievable change, as well as wider themes - recent European history and politics of power. To such concerns she brings creativity, humour and intelligence.
