Product Description

Product Description

In these poems, Paterson guides readers down the labyrinths of their most private emotions. Ceaselessly inquiring and deftly tuned into the emotional cackle of the world, Paterson explores the swings of light and dark that mark out troubling feelings.


From the Back Cover

Landing Light is Don Paterson’s most accomplished and spiritual collection to date. In these poems, he guides us down the labyrinths of our deepest and most private concerns, pursuing the intimacy that the spoken – as well as the printed – word brings. Ceaselessly inquiring, deftly tuned into the emotional crackle of the world, Paterson explores the swings of light and dark that mark our most troubling feelings: utterance and silence, disclosure and concealment, and ultimately the need to both renew and to face finality.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great collection, 6 Jul 2009
By Dr. V. I. Cregan-reid "vybarr" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Landing Light (Paperback)
This is a great collection. It's tear-jerkingly moving and laugh-out-loud funny (no, really, I laughed out loud!) He obviously has a commitment to using ostensibly clear language in shockingly creative and productive ways. Even thinking about the title (not named after a poem) is an experience in itself; what does it mean? Landing lightly after a fall; being guided in to land safely; the light that guides you through to the dark upstairs... Indicative of collection's approach as a whole, it's playful without being pretentious, but is memorable because it is so truthful in its emotion. The two 'twin poems' "Waking with Russell' and 'The Thread' are direct, formally inventive, and intrusively private. 'The Wreck' is one of the most searingly honest poems I've read about a relationship built on the sand of passion and drunkenness, and very little else. I can't recommend this collection enough. He's the real thing: a true poet.
