She has also published a book of non-fiction, Strands: A Year of Discoveries on the Beach , which won the 2012 Portico Prize. She lives in London. Zusammenfassung These are poems that explore the ambivalence and dark unease of slippage and collapse, but they also carry a powerful sense of the miraculous made manifest amongst the ordinary: the mating of natterjack toads, ice on the beach ('dream stuff, with its own internal acoustic') or 'the fund of life' in a used contraceptive.
