Robyn Sarah is a poet of variousness and formal acuity, and Digressions is very much about both of those things. The prose poems, collage poems, and sketches collected here – many for the first time – represent forays down side roads I have explored from time to time , as she writes in her foreword. At last, readers can begin to put together the wider vision of her writing, as Digressions gathers her more experimental pieces in one place, allowing us a closer look at this other side of Sarah’s work.
