Judith Bishop, Aftermarks cross-cultural conversationsAftermarks is a collection of poems about encounters, the impressions they leave and the unbridgeable interval that exists between any two beings when they meet, however intimate they are. "[Bishop's] poetry's quiet humility counts as one of its foremost attractions. An authentic and unsentimental belief in the capacity for tenderness between creatures lies at the heart of Bishop's writing." Oliver Dennis, Times Literary Supplement. Judith Bishop
