Tamar Yoseloff's second collection moves from the mysteries of the sky - an invisible red dwarf, the aurora borealis - to the everyday life of earth - an abandoned seaside pier, a crowded London bus, a Woolworths in a small American town, places in Yoseloff's vision no less fantastic than the celestial world. What links them is a belief in the unknown, faith in the ability to bridge distance and loss through language.

Review
I have for years been collecting Expat Poets. Why? Because poets on a journey tend to be more interesting than poets who aren't. And, of course, they have so many places and experiences to share with you. Tamar Yoseloff's poetry takes you on journeys of the heart and mind; after reading one of these poems you do not end up in quite the same mental and emotional place you started from.It is sometimes said of a quarrelsome man that he could start a fight in an empty house. Tamar Yoseloff can and does start a journey in a closed room, looking out at a star she can't see.'Sheenagh Pugh.
