Gleam

Author(s): Sarah Broom

Poetry

In Gleam, Sarah Broom's powerful poems explore the effect of a life-threatening condition by way of the landscapes of the natural world, charting the hardest things in beautiful language. Broom's forte is encapsulating, expressing and making sense of strong internal feeling and turmoil through metaphor. This impressive collection examines basic human truths with clarity and force - 'we are flesh and blood after all / and we do not like to die' - and will open out painful, rewarding vistas for its readers.
