Landing Light By Don Paterson
Faber and Faber

Landing Light is Paterson’s most spiritual and accomplished collection to date, in which he guides the reader down the labyrinths of our most private emotions, pursuing the intimacy that the spoken – as well as the printed – word brings. Ceaselessly inquiring, deftly tuned into the emotional crackle of the world, Paterson explores the swings of light and dark that mark out our most troubling feelings.
