Sinopsis

Tessitura, Italian ?texture?, borrows a musical conceptual term, denoting the textural sweep of melodic contour - kind of safe-space - for a singer or instrumentalist. This collection is intended as a corresponding writerly-space in which I bring together various drifts of work, assemble them into poetry?s visual equivalence of music?s soundscape. The poems are grounded - and sometimes take flight from - my comfort-zone roots in the South-West of England - its continuity of personal ancestors and especially its successive memory chain of often forgotten women writers, several of whom make their presence known in the central sequence ?Devon women, Lost W/rites?.
