DESCRIPTION

Foreword by Molly Peacock. Despite the seriousness of its subjects, this book is delicious to read. If a subtle book of poems, daringly and deliberately constructed, can be called a page-turner, then here it is. The pure enjoyment of unpacking Rare Earths' mysteries, many of which defeat resolution, is as tantalizing a pleasure as reading a murder mystery...Linette comes to poetry from the novel — not the potboiler, but the literary, even the experimental novel. Her novelist's skill underpins her poet's art.
