Great Regulars: It stands as a counterpoint to the nagging fear

of effacement that lurks around the foundations of this collection and bubbles to the surface in poems such as "Her footprint vanishes", which begins "She disappeared without a trace,/they said. If there were footprints/on the sand, the sea got there/before anyone saw and wiped/her off the face of the earth."

from Sarah Crown: The Guardian: Leaving Fingerprints by Imtiaz Dharker
