Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Hay, Peter (illustrator). If you regularly visit the Reading Central Library, or shop in Kings Walk, or cross the bridge from John Lewis to the Oracle, or live in Mallard Row, Brook Street West or Trelleck Road in Reading, you will know a little of the Holy Brook. Thousand of people use the crossroads at Jacksons Corner without knowing that theres running water a few feet down. But where does it start? Is it a natural stream or man-made? What is it for? What was it called when the Abbey was still functioning? This unique and secretive waterway has been hurrying through and under Reading for many centuries. Adam Sowan has written the fullest account yet of the Brooks topography, history, archaeology and mythology; Sally Castles map shows the places where you can follow its banks; and Peter Hays illustrations evoke its unique character.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. What is it to inhabit the earth, to imagine whats beyond it, to grasp the livingness of things, the brightness of the moment? Sue Leighs poems are made of particularities. A woman weaves a basket, a painter catches the brief flight of a bird, a sculptor works with limestone once under the sea. In our looking, in our making, we may find and lose ourselves. There are objects from the past: a Romano-British stone votive relief, a medieval roodscreen, a sampler stitched by a child in the nineteenth century. And what are they to us here, now? The poet suggests that time is neither here nor there. In poems about travel over land and sea and to the moon, she depicts our restless, necessary, spirited journeys into being and ways of being. She comes home always to the shelter and the nourishment of orchards of her own. Sue Leighs poems have the art of simplicity. She catches that strange thing the clarity of the unsaid. Her writing has the depth of unearthing, ripening, slipping into the last of the light. Pauline Stainer From a review of Chosen Hill: Many of these poems read as meditations on how to exist in the world, and how we might accept the chance happenings of lifeThe Times Literary Supplement.
