Greenteeth Labyrinth
Five Degrees of Separation by Janet Caldwell Poetry /Social Comment /Family/ Childhood The title of Janet Caldwell's book of unusual and sometimes disturbing book of verse comes from a childhood habit, a defence mechanism in which the number five enabled her to escape the terror of abuse to find a refuge in her head. This, the title poem, explains the title and gives readers an insight into how the child survived such terrible violence.
