Scattered Light by Jeremy Hooker
These poems from Jeremy Hooker extend his thinking about powerful crosscurrents that constitute the sacred and deepen his exploration of history embodied in landscape. This new collection contains a variety of short, light poems, longer poems, and sequences such as Saltgrass Lane and Hurst Castle, which dig deeper into his childhood terrain on the Hampshire coastline.
'a deceptively readable poetry that leaves phrases and images in the mind as the best poems should' - GILLIAN CLARKE
