Shadow Box originated with a single piece, 'The Curiosities of Dr Hunter', a poem which gathered together many objects from Glasgow's Hunterian Museum in an investigation into the nature of eighteenth-century collecting; but the museum holds so many objects to catch the eye and imagination - cultural artefacts from across the world, scientific instruments, medical specimens, objects of the natural world - from which so many kinds of poem might be written. Here then are poems caught between the perfection of a single thing and a necessary enquiry into how the object came to be here, what its meanings might be, and who comes to be an observer here.
Gerrie Fellows has published five full-length collections. Her most recent book from Shearsman is Uncommon Place, a collection of poems exploring our relationship to place through Scotland's urban and mountain landscapes. A New Zealander by origin, she has lived in Scotland for forty years.
