Night Vision by Jean Sprackland

Night Vision by Jean Sprackland

‘An elegant and deeply sensory exploration of darkness in all its forms’ Katherine May, author of Wintering

An exhilarating leap into darkness: the new work of non-fiction from award-winning poet and writer Jean Sprackland

In her search for a new, more intimate relationship with darkness, acclaimed poet and writer Jean Sprackland confronts some of the deepest – and darkest – questions about who we are and our place in the world.

With glimmering prose that draws on memory and imagination, history and ecology, literature and myth, Night Vision is an expansive, thrilling journey into the true dark.

‘Stylish and crammed with memorable details’ Robert Crawford, author of Old World

'In this lyrical series of essays, Jean Sprackland falls in love with the dark... Evocative and ambitious' Irish Times

An elegant and deeply sensory exploration of darkness in all its forms
