The Cut of the Light by Jeremy Hooker
Draws on Jeremy Hooker's poetry written over a period of forty years. This book shows the development of a poetry concerned with nature and history and the spirit of place, and comprises both formal variety and the 'art of seeing' which relates Hooker to an important tradition of British and American poetry.
'..a deceptively readable poetry that leaves phrases and images in the mind as the best poems should.' Gillian Clarke '...a poet at the height of his inspiration...' Michael Symmons Roberts '...a fine, unusual, experimental book...' The Independent '...original and very ambitious work...' Poetry Review
