Publications
In Anne-Marie’s latest collection, The Ghost Twin (2005), an evanescent glimpsing in a motel mirror epitomises new concerns over the inseparability and unassimilability of fable & fact, of lore & recall, in a world defined for us by, among other things: fiction; Forties film; painting in oils; childhood play; the epic Russian novel; newscast; rumour; and second sight.
A central section sees the poet at home in unsettled cities, in the territories of hostile or disputed borders, on missions with unpredictable aims.
Anne-Marie’s first two collections, Late Crossing (1999) & Tickets from a Blank Window (2002) were published by Rockingham Press.
Comment...
“Anne-Marie Fyfe’s poetry is taut, eloquent and deeply felt. Her poems are haunted by what the past does to the present, and by the physical relics of that past which is only relayed in snatches.”
— Helen Dunmore on The Ghost Twin. (Peterloo Poets)
