Lyric Poetry

An epic love story for our times. Unable to age until she has cried, Tanya must collect the tears of others in glass bottles down through the centuries – and through her stories, bear witness to the pain and suffering of the people.

Taking both male and female lovers, Tanya is an outcast, hunted by those who misunderstand her until the day comes when she finally stands up to be counted – and learns how to cry.

Also part of this collection: ‘ghost-tag’, ‘ryan yr tits are leakin’, ‘widescream’, ‘chair held aloft’, ‘when i return as lenin’ and ‘cocoon’.
