A collection of poems, written in a conversational and witty tone from the point of view of a young, modern woman who travels, observes, and writes. They are frequently snatches from a personal story, as friends, relations, lovers appear and disappear. The first section of the book touches on love in its various forms, and in the last section, the poet explores the life of a writer, again in momentary glimpses.
