Autorenporträt
Gerrie Fellows is a walker and poet whose earlier collections include The Body in Space (Shearsman, 2014) and Window for a Small Blue Child, a sequence about IVF described by Meredith Andrea as a "coming to poetic terms - in the body, the mind and the ear - with ways in which technology has expanded human possibility." She grew up in New Zealand and London but has spent the last 35 years in Scotland, coming to know the varied landscapes which are the focus of Uncommon Place.
