Light After Light

Victoria Gatehouse explores science and art in her debut poetry publication, seeking out the similarities and tensions that attract and repel them in equal measure. A clinical researcher by day, by night she collects, tests, measures and records her thoughts on the materials from which we each build our lives - both practical and spiritual. Light, metal, electricity, shells and fabric are each treated with a similar scrutiny, linked by a scientific thread, knotted with humour, playful subversion and lyrical wonder.
