Book Synopsis

''[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.
