This collection was, with one exception, written between
2007 and 2013. The poems and images reflect the passage of relationships
and our physical movement in the pursuit of (or away from)
them. How do we re-negotiate our own sense of belonging
and meaning through multiple migrations (of self and heart),
yet remain anchored?

Nothing happens in isolation. This collection began to form
in Aotearoa New Zealand, in the Waitakere Ranges and alongside the
Manukau Harbour. It was finished in East London, close to
the River Lea and the Thames. Places between might be less
obvious but are no less important. The images are collectively
derived from East Sussex and Provence, in the wind shadows
of Firle Beacon and the Petit Luberon.
