Poems movethrough the points of the compass and across sacred sites,exploringthe many different ways in which we live in time and space, andconsidering how our experience of time is fundamentaltomeaning inhuman life.We are carried along through years spent in Greece, observing the markets, the ancient rhythms of village life, the sudden appearance of the gods in a violent countryside, the cycles of love, death andtheearth. With a flick of the compass we find ourselves gazing across the seascapes and night skies of Cornwall and west Wales, then hurtling along on the Underground and through the East End of London.Beautifully crafted and wildly evocative,Compass Lightis a wide-ranging collection thatilluminates the dazzling richnessof howwe perceive time, andhow it makes us who and what we are.
