written by a wide variety of poets

Placebo by Claire Collison Sarah Crossan Every poem seeks to inhabitClaire Collisons Placebo is the real thing: a mellifluous set of poems, drawing the reader along in its flowing brilliance.

There are intriguing encounters with both others and herself, the poets eye ever alert in waiting rooms and clinics, on journeys past and present, and, exultantly, whilst wild swimming.
