Publisher's Synopsis

Most people have favourite passages in books where writers throw narrative to the winds and break out into sheer enumeration - of food, memories, of places, and of things. Ever since Homer's "Catalogue of Ships", lists have been used as literary devices, for reasons as various as lists themselves. This book, international in scope, brings together a selection of these both in poetry and prose.
