Book excerpt: "This inventive production was hatched within a mind fringed with Fumes of Formation, the Ingenious Innings of Inspiration and Thorny Tincture of Thought." Fumes of Formation is the second book of poetry by the late, great Amanda McKittrick Ros. It contains, among many equally astonishing poems, her most famous: "On Visiting Westminster Abbey" This is the first sentence: Holy Moses! Have a look! Flesh decayed in every nook! Some rare bits of brain lie here, Mortal loads of beef and beer, Some of whom are turned to dust, Every one bids lost to lust; Royal flesh so tinged with 'blue' Undergoes the same as you.
