The fact of moving house sends her speeding back through the moves of a lifetime and forward to the last move, to the small room of the grave.

The variety of human life and the individual response to life, these are Gillian Bickleys central interests. The power that invigorates the poems in <em>Moving House</em> is the control of language.
