About this product
Product Information
'When we read Westcott we know ourselves, instantly, to be in another world, flowering. [...] She is a deeply instinctive poet, at ease in her own poetical character. [...] Westcott has a way of dissolving boundaries between self and other, self and world, self and time, so that any reader of hers must end up feeling: I want to be this way all the time. The word I want here is an over-used and badly understood one: natural. Reading Bloom makes one ache for that naturalness, but also, and this is rare, gives us a portal, a way of finding it.'

Reviews 'Like a deep Summer meadow, "thrumming in wet light", Bloom teems with wild, restless energy: bird song, flowers, birth and death, the body in its ecstasy and decay. Sarah Westcott's beautiful poems pivot upon a strange dazzling curiosity. They urge us to kneel in the long grass and pay tender attention to the spaces within nature and within ourselves where life blooms.' Liz Berry, For previous work: "Slant Light confirms Sarah Westcott as a striking new voice... Her poems stay in the mind and draw the reader back. Slant Light is an outstanding collection." Myra Schneider, Artemis Poetry For previous work: "I am dazzled. So imaginative are the poems in Slant Light it's as if she [Westcott] pulls her language from a fantastical place... This is not just a book of poems, it is a book of rich, exquisite shapes, providing a new understanding of how 'we sense the bright world'." Rebecca Goss, 'Sarah Westcott's poems are an enquiry into perception, in which looking is refracted, and the line between subject and object becomes permeable. They look back to a time when "form and perception were ... the same", and trace the contours and textures of loss, the way longing sets birds "circling", and green is "inconsolable". And yet elegy is not the only key: there are celebrations, too, exhilarations of surface, colour, voices on and in the body. Bloom brings the human and its various others - the weathers, weeds, flowers and creatures - into delicate focus, attending to their forms and relationships with tender precision and care.' Mina Gorji, "Sarah Westcott in her second poetry collection Bloom, picks up where she left off with Slant Light; at once fully immersed in the natural world, and yet devastatingly unable to escape the body, its attendant implications of mortality, humanity, in a world that renders us tiny." Juliano Zaffino "Sarah Westcott's poems are an enquiry into perception, in which looking is refracted, and the line between subject and object becomes permeable. They look back to a time when 'form and perception were ... the same', and trace the contours and textures of loss, the way longing sets birds 'circling', and green is 'inconsolable'.

This is not just a book of poems, it is a book of rich, exquisite shapes, providing a new understanding of how 'we sense the bright world'." Rebecca Goss "Skilful patterning, sharp observation, sensuous evocativeness and startling leaps of metaphorical imagination give her poems a vivid, immediate impact, absorbing the reader in the experiences they present. [...] Reverence for life, love, a thrilling sense of connection to the non-human world - all these things suggest a poetry of uplift, and such an appeal is indeed part of the complex emotional dynamics of the book. [...] Opening herself imaginatively to non-human life involves feeling its pain. Even attempting to connect with non-human beings may be a kind of violation. [...] Westcott has evolved a linguistic style that superbly fits her purposes, allowing her to reach through time, to emphasize the transtemporal elements of experience, and to formalize its personal and even visceral elements into an impersonal vision." Edmund Prestwich, London Grip Poetry Review "When we read Sarah Westcott we know ourselves, instantly, to be in another world, flowering. [...] She is a deeply instinctive poet, at ease in her own poetical character. [...] Westcott has a way of dissolving boundaries between self and other, self and world, self and time, so that any reader of hers must end up feeling: I want to be this way all the time. The word I want here is an over-used and badly understood one: natural Reading Bloom makes one ache for that naturalness, but also, and this is rare, gives us a portal, a way of finding it." Nichola Deane, 'Westcott blends dynamic, sensual language with the scientific [...] the poet-narrator of Bloom seems to almost bodily flow, meld and join with the natural world. [...] This second of the Westcott's 'sister' collections shows us a powerful nature poet unafraid of a bolder reach in expression, where we are 'one layer of carbon' (The Turn) among so many others in nature, but one grounded in the particularity and exactitude of that world.' Ken Evans, The Manchester Review, 'With humility, reflectiveness, and careful attunement to her surroundings, Westcott calls for her readers to stop and contemplate the wonders of the natural world. Her language is tender and vivid. [...] These poems describe ordinary moments made noteworthy by the poet's good eye and deft imagery. "All beginnings are naïve," she writes, and, in this collection, her curiosity proves contagious.' Maggie Wang, Harvard Review, 'Like a deep Summer meadow, "thrumming in wet light", Bloom teems with wild, restless energy: bird song, flowers, birth and death, the body in its ecstasy and decay.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
