Go Leaving Strange

Patrick Lane

Go Leaving Strange - the latest collection from award-winning poet Patrick Lane - is filled with poems that explore the darker side of human consciousness and desire. A man kills his own six-year-old child in Weeds. An addict strives to keep ahead of death in Smack.
But amid this bleak landscape of pity and regret, there is also redemption and hope, life and beauty - in the wisteria seed that shines between the folded legs of the pod, demure, waiting for spring … , in the polished silver bowl of a spoon, or in the blue flare of an old blacksmith tempering iron in dust and fire. And the poet’s presence is everywhere as he seeks to find meaning in this existence.
