Salt is a distinctive assembly of poems by the multi-award winning
David Harsent. Resting somewhere between fragment and exposition,
these intense and primal pieces stretch out across the measure of
the page in the form of brief utterances. One extends to
sonnet-length, one consists of a single line; but each piece
uniquely completes its own world, and at the same time shades on to
the next as a succession of frames and stills and imaginings that
lends light and colour in the round. 'The poems in this book are a
series, not a sequence,' the author explains. 'They belong to each
other in mood, in tone and by way of certain images and words that
form a ricochet of echoes - not least the word "salt".' Mineral,
eerie, sensory, the poems in the collection are experienced as
encounters - some with the surety of daylight, others in dream-life
- that refresh with the turning of each page. Like little fictions
passed through space from hand to hand, the writings build
powerfully to make Salt an unforgettable volume from this most
visionary of writers.
