bind is a daring, experimental meditation on the natural world, traversing the course of the day, from daybreak to dusk, in different seasons. The poet’s magical, mysterious vision draws the reader into an interior world conveyed by delicate, startling images. These are not separate poems but rather, a single, book-length poem set out in fragments that are bound together by the poet’s unique sensibility and her intriguing use of space and punctuation. The skilfully wrought poetic fragments which make up the fabric of this remarkable tapestry of light and shade, plant life and human, find their way into the reader’s consciousness like a haunting melody.

Description

bind poetry cover F and B“These elegant and impressionistic poems work with a fractured landscape, one that will haunt and engage the reader…poems that will remain in the reader’s memory long after they have caught the reader’s attention.”
