A poetry collection all about women; from life, film, fiction and history. From Lucrezia Borgia to Belle Starr, from Queen Elizabeth I to Madame Bovary . . . All of these women have been chosen because for some or other reason they have been influential; perhaps it was a word spoken, or a look given, or a trait possessed, perhaps it was none of these or all of them, but somehow, somewhere, they left their touch with me.
