- Summary:
-
Moira Egan's Notes on a Potion is a sensuous collection, multi layered and infused with subtle humour. Egan distils the essence of the myriad experiences within love, loss and female sexuality. These liminal spaces of the heart are subtly, yet powerfully, in flux are exquisitely rendered.Some of the most outstanding and memorable pieces in these pages are ekphrastic poetry: the paintings of Suzanne Valadon inspiring a heartfelt and dynamic conversation between poet and painter. The language is candid but tender, always seeking a balance between levity and gravity.
