'In this much-awaited first collection, Carmen Leigh Keates draws on her experiences of cinema and of travelling to regions in Scandinavia associated with iconic films -among them, Bergman's remote Swedish island of Fårö, and the Estonian capital Tallinn, where Tarkovsky filmed his science fiction masterpiece Stalker. In these poems, geographical, dream and film worlds collide with brilliant results, taking the reader on unexpected and unpredictable voyages.' (Publication summary)
'Carmen Leigh Keates’s Meteorites plays a polyphonic tune comprised of the ethereal elements of smoke, water, and dreams. Yet this otherworldly melody is grounded by a solid rhythm of rock, from the meteorite of its title to the rauks of the Fårö coastline and the boat-shaped graves and burial cairns of Gotland.'
