Threading the Light

By turns poignant, wryly humorous and nostalgic, Ross Thompson’s debut collection of poems charts a chronological journey through the pre-adventure world of childhood, the wounds of awkward adolescence and the future promise of adult life. These threads are woven together and illuminated, as if “held inside the hand / of a skilled jeweller”, resonating as they reach towards the sequence ‘Grief Is Great’, a hesitant lament in the aftershock of loss. Honest and emotive, Threading The Light is a book about hope, about moving forward without letting go of the past.
