MISSING, poems

77 pp., paperback, Cape Town, 2010

A debut collection of poems by Cape Town writer and journalist Beverly Rycroft.

"This astonishingly moving debut collection reads compellingly as one complete story. 'Missing' covers the archetypal journey from sickness and near death to transformation and hope. Rycroft wears her exquisite poetic technique lightly - though rich in deftly-crafted images, the poems are profoundly inviting, readable, memorable. I could not put it down." Finuala Dowling
