Hooker, Jeremy

Here, scattered light falls across landscapes and memories.

These new poems are among Jeremy Hooker’s finest. They extend his thinking about powerful crosscurrents that constitute the ‘sacred’, and deepen his exploration of history embodied in landscape. This collection contains a variety of short, ‘light’ poems, longer poems, and sequences such as ‘Saltgrass Lane’ and ‘Hurst Castle’ that dig deeper into his childhood terrain on the Hampshire coastline.
