Restricted View

"Restricted View" is the colourful and highly anticipated debut collection from the award winning young poet and journalist Olivia Cole. From London to New York and Italy, she takes readers on a journey as public as it is private. Like Mr Chatterbox, the gossip columnist who makes things up, it's impossible to know where the poet's true feelings lie: in her poems about herself, or in the cast of intriguing characters that she brings to life. The view, encompassing art and history as well as the chaos and cluttered beauty of city life, is as vivid and tantalizing as it is restricted.
