Dorothy Porter's fourth poetry collection is an exhilarating ride through passions found, imagined and richly lived.<br>
<br>
From a modern, petrol-headed Carmen and Don José to pairs of polar explorers and silent twins, an intersection of birds and asylums, reflections on vanished love and new desire, <i>Driving Too Fast</i> bursts with vitality, a horsepower rhythm and language that turns on a dime.<br>
<br>
Includes <i>In Extremis</i>, <i>‘A Girl Mad as Birds’</i> and <i>The Amulet</i>.
