'Now We Are Four is a collection of poems about intimacy, solitude and family. It charts a journey into relationship, then the daily life of a small family: mum, dad, three children - Lara, Maya, Daniel - and one black dog.

'The expectation was to create a set of poems that covered the ordinary luminosity of family life. But one day, at three-and-a-half years of age, Maya suddenly died.' -- From the publisher's website
