Description

Dryad Press’s re-launch of missing underlines the value of a collection that, in Finuala Dowling’s words, “covers the archetypal journey from sickness and near-death to transformation and hope … — though rich in deftly crafted images, the poems are profoundly inviting, readable, memorable”.
