Description
Sarah Corbett's fifth collection explores the complexities of home and refuge in the face of an unsettling world. Written from a deep connection to the Calder Valley countryside, these poems grapple with the beauty and disquiet of the landscape, which is both warming and troubled by climate change and violence. A central sequence in the book draws on Dorothy Wordsworth's Grasmere Journals, questioning the nature of the visionary and the in-between worlds that poets claim as their territory. Here, nature serves as a mirror where we might see ourselves and our actions reflected. The presence of Sylvia Plath is also felt throughout the collection, with interior lights - such as a train on a dark morning or a sudden snowfall - attempting to balance the darkness. The poems in this collection are a nuanced exploration of the human experience, one that seeks to find balance between light and darkness.
