Deltas (Paperback)

Paperback. Leonie Rushforths first book reveals a poetics on high alert, where the tireless human sonar scans a compromised world for calamity and grace. In her vision of precarity and connectedness, attention might prove the opposite of surveillance: a tender, sober act of keeping faith with the ethical force of exact expression. Her poems are provisional landscapes, like river deltas, where with language both sidelong and luminous she suggests a way of seeing and measuring distances temporal, spatial, political that opens a route not only to individual survival but to humane dialogue and the hope of community. Deltas is the first collection by Leonie Rushforth. Her poems are provisional landscapes which lead to unexpected encounters and startling revelations.
