Book Synopsis
"The Cut of the Light" draws extensively on Jeremy Hooker's poetry written over a period of forty years. It shows the development of a poetry concerned with nature and history and the spirit of place, and comprises both formal variety and the 'art of seeing' which relates Hooker to a vital tradition of British and American poetry. The book contains early, previously unpublished poems and some new versions of later work. It represents the best of a consistently exploratory poet whose work is celebrated for its power and delicacy.

Trade Review
'...a deceptively readable poetry that leaves phrases and images in the mind as the best poems should.' Gillian Clarke '...a poet at the height of his inspiration...' Michael Symmons Roberts '...a fine, unusual, experimental book...' The Independent '...original and very ambitious work...' Poetry Review
