Description
Simon Armitage's poems are deeply rooted in his childhood experiences growing up in Marsden, West Yorkshire. The night-time view from his bedroom window has been a constant source of inspiration, offering 'private, moonstruck observations' of the world around him.
The surrounding moors have always played a significant role in shaping Armitage's perspective on the world, forming a psychological backdrop to his writing that remains with him to this day. This collection brings together his Marsden poems, from early works to new pieces, offering a personal insight into his preoccupation with place and identity.
Magnetic Field explores themes of memory, attachment and the forces that certain places exert on us. Armitage's unique perspective on the locality he describes as 'transcendent and transgressive' invites readers to consider their own relationship with the world around them.
