Description
Angela Leighton's sixth collection of poems explores the complex arts of remembering and forgetting. Set against a backdrop of classical and Christian influences, she weaves contemporary moments of hope and loss into a nuanced exploration of memory and its power to shape our understanding of ourselves. Through tightly written poems that range from elegiac to humorous, Leighton creates a sense of place where words and things intersect, resonating with each other like memorials to something beyond themselves. From the quiet intimacy of everyday moments to the grandeur of historical landscapes, her poetry is characterized by its keen touch and musicality. With a focus on the sound-shapes of language, this collection tests the boundaries of form and style while always listening for the rhythms that make it sing.
