Landing Light

Hailed for its "enormous skill and verve" (The Guardian) and its "seriousness and moral urgency" (The Independent), Landing Light is one of the most important and resonant poetry collections to come out of Britain in recent years. Ceaselessly inquiring, Don Paterson discovers the love of a son, a talking book, the voices of a wreckage left in the black box. In traditional forms, short lyrics, and long narratives, Paterson has craftedwith precision and passionhis most accomplished and spiritual collection.
