The Don't Touch Garden

<p><i>The Don’t Touch Garden</i> explores what it is to be adopted, both for the child and the adoptive parents, through a wide range of poetic styles and complex emotions.<br><i>An absorbing account of the legacy of being an adopted child. Forthright and tender, this moving sequence reflects Foley’s unflinching gaze into the mirror in a sometimes excoriating attempt to discern traces of her belonging, and to make peace with the past. </i><br>Joy Howard, Poet, publisher and former Fostering Services Manager</p>
