Heartland

Michele Leggott

Michele Leggott's new book of poetry follows on from her 2009 collection, Mirabile Dictu, in its exploration of light and of gathering dark. Leggott is a poet of the lilting, shining moment, and five of the sections in this collection follow her through her own moments and movements--to Devonport, to Heartland gestures back towards previous work while at the same time beginning to chart a new compositional method.
