A posthumous collection of poems. This edition makes public the complex expression of an emotional thinker and intelligent lover.

Norris writes from a very lucid sense of social realism, draws upon the minute but recognizable details of day to day existence and clarifies events and actions with a unique crispness (Bruce Meyer, Waves).

Features the poems that were written and published between 1954 and 1977.

A book of poetry that takes as its epi-graph a quote from Henry Miller: When the house is torn down the bed is left standing: the cosmosexual altar . It features poems which engage that condition. Whirlwinds of lovers. Voices out of the whirlwind. The bed at the centre of the storm.
