She's a wonderful poet, lyrical and witty. Daily life made rich.
Her earlier chapbook, Mr and Mrs Philpott on Holiday at Auchterawe & Other Poems is a group of poems about a couple, Mr. and Mrs. Philpott. It's full of beautiful images; you feel that you are looking through one window after, catching glimpses of a life, wondering what's just beyond the frame. She has so much of the craft of poetry at her disposal, but it's very easy on the reader. I hope she sells millions of copies.
I had earlier posted some links to her poems on the Net; here they are again:
Distance
Release
With my mother, missing the train
