New Year’s Eve, 1900. A train sets out from London, bound for Edinburgh. At midnight there will be an unexpected confrontation, followed by a violent disappearance…

Diane Fahey’s glittering poem/novella weaves a fin de siècle fantasy of souls in transit: a naturalist back from New Zealand; a runaway wife en route for Ireland; a retired clockmaker; a serial widower; an actress turned psychic; a scarlet macaw; and a photographer who, with eyes closed, sees light as ‘a mural on a great dome pulsing with my invisible blood’.

Diane Fahey is the author of eight books of poetry.

‘Fahey writes with a confident maturity that understates rather than flaunts itself. Her work … has an impressive, uncompromising integrity.’ — Judith Beveridge

‘Diane Fahey is a wide-ranging accomplished poet, highly deserving of her growing international reputation.’
— Katherine Gallagher, Poetry Review
