Title: Miss Dust
Description: Meet Miss Dust: mother, child, teacher, cheater, lover, liver, dreamer, enthusiastic coffee drinker and star of this new collection by much-admired poet Johanna Aitchison. This playful and twisty two-part harmony begins with the Miss Dust sequence, and concludes with more wide-ranging poems with the same mixture of the bleak and funny, and Aitchison's trademark inventive and frequently surreal use of language. Mss Dust is an exciting development in the work of an original poetic voice.
