Challenging debut from a mature new poet exploring the ways in which the past travels with us across landscapes. Crossing the Mirror Line explores doubleness; the unsettling symmetries of mirrored reflections and the relationship between the viewer and what is viewed.
Judith Willson grew up in Manchester and studied English at the universities of Cambridge and York, and Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Manchester. She has worked as a teacher and in book and journal publishing. She lives in the Yorkshire Pennines.
* Crossing the Mirror Line explores doubleness; the unsettling symmetries of mirrored reflections, relationship between the viewer and what is viewed. * Poems are concerned with looking, how we select and transform what is seen. * Places shaped by the persistence of a past which still presses close to the surface; poems echo with stories and songs in which elusive histories are glimpsed. * Will appeal to readers with interest in local history, the persistence of the past, and its interpretation.
`Willson's poetry takes us, in a dazzling flow of images, to lives which have the solidity of Central European fairytale with all the frightening reality of history behind them. Richly inventive in form and precise in tone, this is an amazingly assured debut collection.' - Elaine Feinstein
