The Vast Extent - On Seeing and Not Seeing Further

''[Greenlaw] wields her erudition lightly.'' Sunday Times ''Remarkable, visionary.'' CELIA PAUL ''Indescribably brilliant.'' Daily Telegraph ''Kaleidoscopic.'' Guardian ''A rare pleasure . . . rewarding and thought-provoking.'' Irish Times From the celebrated poet, novelist and memoirist, The Vast Extent is a constellation of "exploded essays" about light and image, seeing and the unseen. Each is a record of how thought builds and ideas emerge, aligning art, myth, strange voyages and scientific scrutiny with a poet''s response so that they cast light upon each other. In this original and illuminating work, Lavinia Greenlaw invites us to observe our world and beyond with a new sensitivity.
