Description
The Horizon Shifts Sideways displays an informed curiosity about the natural world and the creatures that inhabit it—both human and animal—and the entanglements and interactions that exist between these. The unique directness of her work is a result of the combination of the scientific and the aesthetic, combined with characteristic clear-eyed observation.
'What a delight these poems are: various, personal; full of incident, observation, visual and tactile sensitivity, intelligent comment. The lines unfold in an easy inevitability which makes one, to quote Thompson, "contemplate your place / in the natural order of things".' Irish poet Eavan Boland regards a poem as "a forceful engagement between a life and a language". This rings true for Alison Thompson's work.' - Brook Emery
