BOOKLIGHT a 96 pp book of photographs by Thomas Haywood and poems by Patricia Ace, Sujata Bhatt, Sarah Jackson, Sam Meekings, Mary Palmer, Richard Price, and David Troupes

ISBN 978-0-9555013-6-4

A select group of established and emerging poets reflect upon images captured by the Scottish photographer Thomas Haywood in Booklight — the latest venture from Knucker Press in association with ONE Magazine. Chinese lanterns, butterflies, lowering British landscapes, crocuses, the Glasgow Necropolis, Blackpool lights, and Australian caves are the starting points for seven remarkable and diverse poetic conversations. These responses are united by a subtle attentiveness to contrast. The photographs and poems become inseparable, describing a picture of variegated light and shadow in the style of an iconic painting:

Vast lawns and tall trees,
and the light waiting for Edward Hopper—

Sujata Bhatt, 'The Tired Butterfly'
