About this title

Synopsis

It is the theme of discovery that is at the heart of Moveable Type. Rommi Smith takes the reader on a journey through identity, language and memory, via England and America, with sharp observation, wit and wry comment en route. The insights and revelations invite us to not only look beneath the surface of the places we live in, but also ourselves. This collection from poet Rommi Smith comes complete with an outstanding performance CD capturing Rommi at her best with her magnificent band of musicians.
