Towards Light & Other Poems
Sarah Day
To the vanishing point where light will expand/where light wants the eye to go.
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 discrepancies 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
‘Sarah Day’s eighth collection of poetry, Towards Light and Other Poems, achieves a sustained and generous weaving of lyrical intensity with moral engagement. Balanced, focused, elegantly executed, this book shows Day at her best.’ - Judith Beveridge, Australian Book Review - Books of the Year 2018
