Inhaltsangabe

Shadow Box originated with a single piece, 'The Curiosities of Dr Hunter', a poem which gathered together many objects from Glasgow's Hunterian Museum in an investigation into the nature of eighteenth-century collecting; but the museum holds so many objects to catch the eye and imagination - cultural artefacts from across the world, scientific instruments, medical specimens, objects of the natural world - from which so many kinds of poem might be written. Here then are poems caught between the perfection of a single thing and a necessary enquiry into how the object came to be here, what its meanings might be, and who comes to be an observer here.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Gerrie Fellows is a walker and poet whose earlier collections include The Body in Space (Shearsman, 2014) and Window for a Small Blue Child, a sequence about IVF described by Meredith Andrea as a "coming to poetic terms - in the body, the mind and the ear - with ways in which technology has expanded human possibility." She grew up in New Zealand and London but has spent the last 35 years in Scotland, coming to know the varied landscapes which are the focus of Uncommon Place.
