Towards Light: & Other Poems (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781925780024)

To the vanishing point where light will expand/where light wants the eye to go ("Towards Light")

Light, as a physical and metaphorical entity recurs in many of the poems in this new collection by Sarah Day. Light makes its presence felt in these poems as a source of illumination and grace, it is also the means by which the flaws and discrepanies of the present and past are highlighted.

"Sarah Day is a poet of wonderful attentiveness. She notices everything, persuading us, as readers, that she has seen and heard the living world truly. Wherever she stands, she gives lyrical utterance in Towards Light to our fresh, daily life, vibrant in its perpetuity." - Christopher Wallace-Crabbe

"Exquisitely nuanced, vivid and brilliant, Towards Light observes the natural world with grace and artistry and generously offers to her readers the gift of rapture." - Janine Burke

Of her previous work Tempo:
"It is the transfusing of emotion that transforms these poems from observations, in both senses, to genuinely affecting and memorable art... Tempo is a wonderful book." - Stephen Edgar
