Anne-Marie’s latest collection, Understudies: New and Selected Poems (Seren Books, 2010) brings together poems from her first three collections Late Crossing (1999) & Tickets from a Blank Window (2002), both from Rockingham Press, and The Ghost Twin (Peterloo Poets, 2005) with excitingly strange new poems that focus on shadowy, marginal characters in liminal, isolated worlds, in small towns and bustling, metropolitan isolation, in quiet ghost-lit places like Sonya Vine’s low-light, after-rain image of London’s Chiswick High Road on the book’s front cover…
Anne-Marie’s latest poems explore a world of forgotten objects and characters, of lost and half-recovered memories of places and things, of lives of expectation and disappointment, a world of extras waiting, reherasing secretly for walk-on parts they may never play but never cease to dream of…
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)
