Katerina Anghelaki-Rooke’s final collection of poetry, Losing Appetite for Existence, is enormously cohesive, each poem illustrating another aspect of losing one’s taste, one’s appetite , a theme apparent from the opening poem, as if the poet wanted to get to the heart of the matter right from the start, to make it clear that a large part of the tastelessness of existence, her loss of appetite for it, was in fact the loss of being personally aroused by her encounter with the world.
