Time behaves differently in The House of Ghosts and Mirrors. Generations pass each other - and themselves - in rooms that appear empty; adults occupy their childhood dreams and nightmares; stories enact themselves in portraits and postcards.

Marbled with menace and mischief, with a humour as black as the cupboard under the stairs, these hard-won poems coalesce into a moving, unforgettable meditation on the passage of time; searching for certainties, and truths that are so much more than the sum of questionable facts.
