Compass Light

InÂCompass LightÂwe crossÂlandscapes, unravelling time, discovering how change and journeysÂbecome aÂcelebration of a life. Poems moveÂthrough the points of the compass and across sacred sites,ÂexploringÂthe many different ways in which we live in time and space, andÂconsidering how our experience of time is fundamentalÂtoÂmeaning inÂhuman life.We are carried along through years spent in Greece, observing the markets, the ancient rhythms of village life, the sudden appearance of the gods in a violent countryside, the cycles of love, death andÂtheÂearth. With a flick of the compass we find ourselves gazing across the seascapes and night skies of Cornwall and west Wales, then hurtling along on the Underground and through the East End of London.Beautifully crafted and wildly evocative,ÂCompass LightÂis a wide-ranging collection thatÂilluminates the dazzling richnessÂof howÂwe perceive time, andÂhow it makes us who and what we are.
