'a wafer of time I should tell you
my sister is Lana Del Rey my sister
is Audrey Hepburn who generously
haunts us into ripening relation
a sequence of sounds collecting
between us where no words fit'
- Just Let Me Have This by Heather Sweeney, 2018 (p.12).
Heather Sweeney's first poetry collection focuses on the textural, minute details of the self and memory. With a sharp awareness of today's culture and the past, this collection flickers in and out of clarity and dream, of the surreal and the painfully true.
