Blue Nude Migration

By means of exceptionally concrete and direct language, Laura Stott's poems lift dark matter up out of the shared unknown and give it shape. They have the simplicity of blue shadows and bells, the curiously beautiful postures of shore birds in a marsh.This is a book of clear-eyed and original work. Neither the poems nor the stunning images that accompany them melt away as you read - they keep reminding that mystery inheres not in abstract complexities but in the essential experience of our inner lives as they encounter and create the world.
