With others in your absence

Viac o knihe

With others in your absence tells the story of a return to the living, travelling out of the acuteness of grief into new ways of being towards others.Moving forwards and occasionally backwards in time, it celebrates the platonic relationships through which the speaker learns to readjust to a world made strange following the loss of a parent.Many of the poems are very loosely based on seasons 11-14 of the classic series of Doctor Who, each drawing its title and imagery from a different serial.
