“My work as a ‘tale bandolier’ hinges on a broad picture of human and country life, with a light-hearted observational approach. Sometimes my poems have serious and challenging content, which might provoke and hold the reader’s attention – with a smile or two, maybe! Thank you for taking the time to read my book.” – Michael Sherlock

Using a pillow book as her form, nineteen-year-old Cordelia Kenn sets out to write out her life for her unborn daughter. What emerges is a portrait of an extraordinary girl, who writes frankly of love, sex, poetry, nature, faith, and of herself in the world. Her thoughts range widely: on Shakespeare and breasts, periods and piano playing, friendship and trees, consciousness and sleep, and much more besides. As she writes of William Blacklin, the boy she chooses as her first lover, or Julie, the teacher who encourages her spiritual life, Cordelia maddens, fascinates, and ultimately seduces the reader. This is a character never to be forgotten from a writer at the height of his powers.
