Exploring and questioning identity, Fellows' poetry charts our ever changing relationship to history, to the land and the changing environment, and to the transforming and often destructive power of technology. **Gerri Fellows was born in 1954 in Roxburgh, Otago, New Zealand, of Scottish descent. Her family moved to England in 1963, and Gerrie now lives in Glasgow. The Powerlines is her second poetry collection.'
