Passerine

In Passerine, Kirsten Luckins' epistolary poems distill the daily process of grieving, healing, remembering, through nature's wild and atomic industry. Reading this collection is like pressing your ear to the ground to hear the orchestra of the world: alive with buzzing hum and beating wing; death, all the while, lurking on the doorstep. The language is lush, tack-sharp and playful, capturing both the contradictions of being in and of the world, and the rare honesty of a true and fierce friendship. It's this friendship that binds the collection: a golden thread of sunlight.

About the Author
Luckins, Kirsten: - Kirsten Luckins is a poet, performer and creative producer who lives as close to the sea as she dares, on the north-east coast of England, where the beaches are both heavenly and deserted. Her creative practice is centred on poetry but driven by playfulness, collaboration and experimentation, so encompasses film, collage and text art, performance and theatre-making. Passerine is her third poetry publication, but the first to take itself seriously as an act of literature. You can explore her work at www.kirstenluckins.com
