Here scattered light falls across landscapes and memories. These new poems are among Jeremy Hooker's finest, extending his thinking about powerful crosscurrents that constitute the 'sacred', and deepening his exploration of history embodied in landscape. This new collection contains a variety of short, 'light' poems, longer poems, and sequences such as 'Saltgrass Lane' and 'Hurst Castle' dig deeper into his childhood terrain on the Hampshire coastline.
