Beschreibung

<p><b>'Elegant and deeply sensory' </b>Katherine May, author of <i>Wintering</i></p><p><b>An exhilarating leap into darkness in all its forms, enchantments and history: the new work of non-fiction from award-winning poet and writer Jean Sprackland</b></p><p><i>Darkness can make the most ordinary activity feel adventurous. Open a door and step through it. You can't see a thing: you could be anywhere. Step over the threshold, into the dark, and feel your way.</i></p><p>We humans have a complicated relationship with the dark. We fear it, and make great efforts to blot it out. But we also long for it, especially if we live in cities, or remember the starry skies of our childhoods. Darkness opens us up to risk, delight and transformation. Is it possible to prise it free of its negative associations, which are as old as human thought itself?</p><p>In her quest for a new, more intimate relationship with darkness, acclaimed poet and writer Jean Sprackland finds herself confronting some of the deepest - and darkest - questions about who we are and our place in the world. Drawing on memory and imagination, history and ecology, literature and myth, <i>Night Vision</i> is an expansive, thrilling journey into the true dark.</p>
