Book of the Week: THE VAST EXTENT: ON SEEING AND NOT SEEING FURTHER by Lavinia Greenlaw
How do we make sense of what we see? 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. Greenlaw invites us to observe our world and beyond with a new sensitivity. Beautifully written and deeply thoughtful; both personal and universal.
