Cynthia Fuller's distinctive poetic voice is immediately recognisable in this third collection, Only a Small Boat, but she also extends her range by exploring substantially different areas of experience in each of its three sections. These poems move out of 'past homes, old addresses... left here' towards the discovery of 'what kind of house could fold love safe.' culminating in a sequence of love poems. Equally at home in inner and outer landscapes, they are shaped now by memory, now by the history of the pit village in County Durham where Cynthia Fuller lives. Here, in both people and places, is a sense of continuity and hope.
