Sarah and Melanie became friends and poetry collaborators when they shared a big white house by the sea, next to a passing place, at a series of writing workshops on the Isle of Arran. They waded out, sang selkie songs to a seal they named Sir Douglas, shared stories, poems, wine and secrets, and decided to create something together.
This is their potent and poetic debut collection.

Includes a Foreword by Gerry Potter.

"From Sydney to Scotland via Salford and Barrow-in-Furness, Melanie and Sarah transport the reader to strange yet recognisable worlds." Rosie Garland, poet, novelist & singer
