Beskrivelse
The milestones of life - birth, love, relationships and death - are the subjects of this simmering fifth collection by Jo Haslam. Compassion and clarity are brought to experiences including the devastating effects of Alzheimer's, the trauma of a loved one's mental breakdown, and the challenges and joys of connecting with other cultures. Underpinning these concerns are poems which illuminate the strangeness and complexity of the natural world. Birds, beasts and water in all its diversity, from moorland streams to the hidden rivers of the author's Manchester childhood, are filtered through the sensibility of a writer who is also a visual artist, with passion and precision.
