Cover; Title page; Copyright page; Preface; Author biography; An introduction by Kathleen Jamie; Frissure; Acknowledgements.;Frissure is an exquisite collection of prose-poems and illustrative work exploring healing, mortality, intimacy, memory and the natural world. It is about the intimate process of looking and seeing as it passes from one person? a cancer patient? looking at herself, from being?examined' by a surgeon, to being looked at by an artist. In each situation a transformation occurs. The gaze of the patient on her own body and its post-operative scarring is objectified by that of the surgeon assessing the success of his work. But then the creative eye of the artist takes over and what was regard.
