In The Adjustments, Claire Dyer's fourth collection with Two Rivers Press, the poet explores the vagaries of time and experience. As a narrative in reverse, her book scrutinises the fine tunings of life - from what's expected to what happens - and the associated search for equilibrium in a world that's constantly changing.

Covering the main themes of loss, gain, identity and relationships, the poems travel backwards from the challenges of later life to the hopes and fears of youth, and act as testament and interrogation, laying bare the quest for and acceptance of the adjustments we make and that ultimately define us.
