The cut of the light : poems 1965-2005

"The Cut of the Light" draws extensively on Jeremy Hooker's poetry written over a period of forty years.

It shows the development of a poetry concerned with nature and history and the spirit of place, and comprises both formal variety and the 'art of seeing' which relates Hooker to a vital tradition of British and American poetry.

The book contains early, previously unpublished poems and some new versions of later work.

It represents the best of a consistently exploratory poet whose work is celebrated for its power and delicacy.
