Noticing | Noticing - with Will Harris

Send us Fan Mail

Cor what a scorcher! Time to bask in the company of Will Harris. You will delight in his fresh and distinct style, with cuttlefish-fast leaps of metaphor and imagery as we explore his two Granta volumes, RENDANG published in 2020 and Brother Poem (2023). His multileveled work finds inspiration in Jakarta and London, the contemporary experience of a dual heritage, and by looking sideways at an imagined brother. 

Expect the usual poetic bants from Robin and Peter as we check into Hotel Petroleum (Broken Sleep Books) by Mark Fiddes. Enjoy the subtleties of Intimate Architecture (Blue Diode) by Tess Jolly, and explore the Cuckmere Pilgrim Path with Judith Shaw's pamphlet, The Land Called Me Back. Plus we enjoy Martha Sprackland’s fine translation for Penguin: Dark Night, by John of the Cross.
