A poignant exploration of memory, loss, and the human spirit from a celebrated poet.
In One, Two, Angela Leighton presents a collection of poems that navigate the landscapes of memory, from childhood recollections to elegies for a mother. With a keen eye for detail, Leighton transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary, finding beauty and meaning in nature, art, and the complexities of language. The collection is punctuated by poems reflecting on breath and breathlessness during the coronavirus pandemic, adding a layer of contemporary relevance.
Leighton's characteristic wit and formal invention shine through, creating a reading experience that is both intellectually stimulating and emotionally resonant. This volume also includes translations of Dante and Pirandello, testing the boundaries of language and interpretation.
