Prepare for some adventures in \"Perihelion.\" These poems evoke shifting states of mind and heart, from childhood terrors to the wisdom of the mystic, with all the twists of love, doubt and insight which come in between. There are monsters in this collection (but are they generated by science-fiction or the psyche?); there is grace, there is art, and there is longing. In her writing, Sarah Law traces the dynamics of relationship and of solitude, pushing lyric poetry to a playful complexity, but allowing the poignancy of our human condition to flow through each poem. Sarah Law studied literature at Cambridge and London universities, and currently teaches literature and creative writing at the University of East Anglia, Norwich. She has two poetry collections published by Stride (Bliss Tangle, 1999, The Lady Chapel, 2003). This is her third collection. | Perihelion by Sarah Law, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
